Talk:Rosetta Code/Run examples: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

I do have some points for consideration:

# Layout of examples: examples have not been created to be auto-run and massaging a wide selection of examples to run could make for too long a program. You might consider something like ''"Assume that code inside the first <nowiki><lang></nowiki> tag below the languages <nowiki>{{header|}}</nowiki> tag is all that need run"''.

: that sounds like a good idea. in my mind i expected each <nowiki><lang></nowiki> tag to be a separate solution, so the downloading could would have to pick one or run all of them on by one.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 18:51, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

# Would this lead to high server load when developing and testing a solution - especially for the extra credit part of the task?

# You might want to just have language A download and run examples from language A. Rosetta Code normally allows a task to be fulfilled in one language without necessarily knowing another to any degree, (if at all).

: well, the knowledge needed for some of the languages is minimal, eg: to run a [[Python]] solution, only <code>python task.py</code> is needed. surely anyone can implement support for that without knowing python. the main point here is to write the program in a way so that support for additional languages can be added easily because the framework is already there. and once more solutions appear, taking them from one language and porting them to another should be easy.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 18:51, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
