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?

#: Running every example's going to be impractical anyway. Some require extra command line arguments. Some require user interaction. Running a single example for a single language would be enough (where they are nominated at runtime; no hard-coding!) and wouldn't cause problems with excessive server load. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 15:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

# 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).
