(→‎Code Golf: Doesn't fit with RC)
Line 22: Line 22:
:: I agree that Code Golf doesn't really fit in with RC's mission to help users of one language learn how equivalent tasks may be done in new languages. However, some people (myself included) find Code Golf to be more fun as it provides a bit more of a challenge. If there aren't really any issues with the task itself, can it just be required that submissions contain a "normal" solution, and any Code Golf solutions are optional/bonus points?

:::Hi Ooorah, I think we are more likely at the stage of wanting to remove this task altogether but no one wanting to be the first to take that step and waiting for the task to wither. I don't think golfing adds anything to RC's stated task. It's a million miles from writing idiomatic code by its very definition.<br>
Now you've edited the task and brought it back to our collective consideration maybe it will go? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 06:20, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
