What is Rosetta Code?

Rosetta Code collects solutions to over a thousand programming tasks, from sorting and string handling to classic puzzles, written in hundreds of languages side by side. It is a free, community-edited wiki, so it is handy for comparing how different languages approach the same problem.

Pros: what Rosetta Code does well

  • Same task across many languages
  • Great for learning a new language
  • Free and community-run

Cons: where it falls short

  • Code quality varies
  • Dated wiki interface

Who Rosetta Code is for

Who can skip it
