Rosetta Code is a repository for code examples that go beyond the traditional "Hello World!" example. This
ProgrammingChrestomathy runs on
MediaWiki.
http://www.rosettacode.org
All contributors are welcome; there are a over two hundred varieties of examples. So far, the most popular languages are
ToolCommandLanguage,
PythonLanguage,
AdaLanguage,
OcamlLanguage,
PerlLanguage,
JavaLanguage,
HaskellLanguage,
CeeLanguage, and
AlgolLanguage(!). This says something about the size of their communities and their applicability to a wide variety of problems. Other common languages which could use more examples include
CeeSharp, PL/SQL,
DelphiLanguage (and other
PascalLanguages), shell scripts, and
LuaLanguage.
CobolLanguage,
AbapLanguage, and
AssemblyLanguage would also be interesting languages for basic examples, so folks could see the history we escaped from (
AlgolLanguage,
FortranLanguage, and
LispLanguage are already well represented). There are also examples in
CeePlusPlus,
RubyLanguage and
PicoLisp.
