In summary, I think the task may break the [[Rosetta_Code:Add_a_Task#Things_to_avoid|guidelines]] section "Don't require exceedingly rare features.". --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 12:25, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
: I don't have a problem with tasks which wind up primarily calling out to libraries. Seeing how a language interacts with a particular library isn't necessarily useful in comparing a language to another language, but it is still useful for users of that language and users of that library, and may be useful in comparing libraries. Utility to users of a particular language is a significant language-community motivator for adding code to the wiki, and I've seen several languages whose communities get together to add to RC for that purpose. As for comparisons between libraries...that's something I've wanted RC to be able to cover for years. Like languages, libraries are another tool where active competition and code and idea development occur.

: The bit about "don't require exceedingly rare features" was not intended to excluding calling outside the language's native semantic space. It was more intended to deal with tasks like [[Proof]] which have a very narrow definition and are written to be intolerant of non-native features. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
