Wow, I had no idea Rosetta Code existed and as someone who loves linguistics (and can struggle knowing how to convert one computer language to another), I think I may find this really handy. Thank you!

Rosetta Code is useful, but many of the examples are horrendous. It's most likely because an example from one language is extrapolated into others without always considering if that language or community has its own way of accomplishing something. Occasionally I still use it, and it's good when you're a junior, but I think devs should try to move beyond it.

THere was also PLEAC.

And the other issue is the more than one way thing, you need "flavors" of different languages.

And once you get past that, what is really needed is a standard reference implementation of a website, IO pipelines, network code, ssh libs, and tons of other things. Rosetta has a lot of crappy algorithms and paper-thin examples.

It's a good idea, but I think Stack Overflow could have implemented something far better, at least for the main languages they had armies of karma seekers for.

This should be emailed in, since a repo clone would essentially be content farming.

Thanks, I see many contributions dangeling on the wrong repo now, which is sad :(

It’s useful for testing that you have the langauge tool chain installed and working correctly.

While I do think it would be nice to compare using a program that is slightly less trivial, it's actually useful to see for how many languages the "Hello world" program requires a lot of extra ceremony. Look how verbose the Java program is for instance. I do think this says something about the priorities of the language designers.

I think there's really only value as a first step for compiled languages so you can actually see a result.

For most languages you're right, the into is one concept.

Yes, as well, CLisp and Common Lisp are not different languages. The examples given will work for all Common Lisp implementations.

Which languages?

Maybe you could create a PR for them?

Your Apple Pay process seems broken (gateway issue perhaps?).

Printing a website & adding a $ on it, we are living in crazy times.

If you bundle GitHub pages with lists of "Hello World" programs, and their forks, together then "Mostawesomeprograminglanguage" appears to be a Hapax Legomenon in Google. I.e. it appears to be a joke, specifically constructed for this list, and not a real programming language.
