Icon+Unicon/Analysis of UnimplementedTasks

From Rosetta Code

Analysis of Tasks Icon/Unicon Unimplemented

The following summarizes tasks that are not completed for Icon/Unicon on Rosetta Code. Note: This is not dynamically compiled and tasks may have been completed.

My intent is twofold.

  • Encourage more contribution from other by more clearly identifying areas where they can help.
  • Encourage a general discussion (beyond Icon/Unicon) of task classification/sub-classification. (I know that SML may have a huge impact on this once an approach is found).

While I realize that some of the tasks could easily fall into multiple categories, I've tried to pick a (near) best fit.

Also, I've annotated a (bare) handful of tasks.

Some quick links:

The official up to date list of tasks not yet implemented in Unicon

This list is dynamically generated by the RC Wiki:

The unofficial list (categorized)

Below is a breakdown of these by area.

Externals: Operating System feature, Library Method, C calling, etc.

Web, Networking, and OS interface

Internals and platform specific information

Functions, Program Control, Language

Object Oriented and Data types

Concurrent Programming / Multitasking

GUI, Graphics, images, Multimedia, Animation and related

Other I/O related

Math for Vectors, Matrices, Multi-element structures, etc

Numerical problems and methods

Basic String, Structure, and data type problems

Applied String, Structure, and data type problems

Permutation, cominations, probability, and randomness

Problems, Puzzles, Games, and Mindbenders

Odd or Humourous

Date/Time

Not Categorized (Unimplemented)

When these get solved they should be categorized if possible. If not move below.

Not Categorized (Implemented)

These were harvest, please dump them into categories.

Analysis of Programming Categories on Rosetta

The following list was manually gleaned from the list of categories (special pages) and annotated. It provides another way of looking at the program groupings. There are a number of discussions on the Rosetta Code:Village Pump and in individual tasks about categorization and how to approach it. Use of SMW may change the way in which this is done.

This may also prove useful for editors looking to cleanup categories (e.g. typos).
