Rosetta Code
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Rosetta Code is a wiki-based programming chrestomathy website with implementations of common algorithms and solutions to various programming problems in many different programming languages.[1] It was created in 2007 by Mike Mol.
As of 23 April 2016[update], Rosetta Code has:[2]
-
-
- 786 programming tasks (or problems),
- 204 additional draft programming tasks,
- 597 programming languages,
- 49,077 programming language examples/entries.

The Rosetta Code web repository illustrates how desired functionality is implemented very differently in various programming paradigms, [4][5] and how "the same" task is accomplished in different programming languages.[6]

Data and structure
The Rosetta Code site is organized as a browsable cross-section of tasks (specific programming problems or considerations) and computer programming languages. A task's page displays visitor-contributed solutions in various computer languages, allowing a viewer to compare each language's approach to the task's stated problem. Task pages are included in per-language listings based on the languages of provided solutions; a task with a solution in the C programming language will appear in the listing for C. If the same task has a solution in Ruby, the task will appear in the listing for Ruby as well.
