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 is named for the Rosetta Stone, which has the same text inscribed on it in three languages, and thus allowed Egyptian hieroglyphs to be deciphered for the first time.[2]
Website
Rosetta Code was created in 2007 by Michael Mol. The site's content is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2, though some components may be dual-licensed under more permissive terms.[3]
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]
(As of August 2021), Rosetta Code has:[7]
- 1,121 computer programming tasks (or problems)
- 303 additional draft programming tasks
- 810 computer programming languages that are used to solve tasks
- 83,043 computer programming language examples/entries
In August 2022, Rosetta Code migrated from independent hosting to Miraheze.
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.
Languages
Some of the computer programming languages found on Rosetta Code (which have Wikipedia descriptions) include: [8]
A complete list of the computer programming languages that have examples (entries/solutions to the Rosetta Code tasks) is available.[9]
Tasks
Some of the tasks found on Rosetta Code include:[10]
