If for some reason, you found this page before you found the language list, you might want to check that out first.

Precheck

Before you add anything to this page...

Is this the right place?

  • If you're looking for more information on a specific programming language, and we don't have any information on the language you're interested in, you may request it on another page.
  • If you're looking how to do something specific in a language, see Help:Request a new programming task. But don't forget to check the existing tasks, first.

It is the right place?

If you would like more information about a language that already has a page, add the language to a list below. If the language is already on the list, but we still don't have much information on it, go on to "Getting your request fulfilled".

Getting your request fulfilled

If a regular Rosetta Code contributor knows the language you're asking about, he may write some code. If none of the regular contributors knows the language, then it may not get any code.

You can also try bringing in people from outside Rosetta Code.

  • If you know someone who knows the language (or any language in this list), we'd be happy if you pointed them in our direction.
  • If you have Twitter, tweeting out a request that someone add content for your language would probably also be good. Add @rosettacode, and RC's twitter presence may retweet you.
  • If you have Facebook, post on the Facebook page.

Languages

Underrepresented

The following languages are underrepresented with examples compared to their relative importance. If you know or want to learn any of these languages, please consider adding examples.

No code

These languages have had categories created, but no one has written any example code yet.

No presence at all

These languages are nowhere on RC.

(Merging)

(This is a separate list from Help:Request a new programming language.)

  • CPP, the C preprocessor, which is also the C++ preprocessor. Why not treat it as a language in itself? It is possible to run the preprocessor as a standalone language processor. Examples with macros in C++ and examples with macros in C (e.g., 99 Bottles of Beer) seem to be either duplicates or very similar.
  • ECMAScript4 (but see JavaScript, ActionScript)
  • Run Basic (http://www.RunBasic.com/), Run BASIC is like Liberty Basic with extensions for Web applications. It keeps track of session variables. Can run stand alone as web server or under servers such as Apache. Has built in commands for SQLite. You can build parent child scripts through the use of the Run command

Need Syntax Highlighting Support

These languages lack syntax highlighting.
