Rosetta Code/Run examples
This task is based on an idea hatched from this C1R Implementation.
Write a program that will accept as input the name of a task from Rosetta Code and the name of a language. The program should then download the solution for the specified task in the specified language, present the source to the user and prompt the user to confirm running the example.
The program should verify that the tools needed to compile or run the solution are present before running it. If the solution can not be run, a graceful exit should happen. (i.e. the program should not crash)
Besides its own language, the program should support at least two other languages. (Ideally it would support most of the languages available, but that is too much to ask. Though some languages are simple, e.g. python, pike, perl, bash and several more only need the solution saved in a file and given to the language as argument to run, so it should be easy to support many languages like that).
If you know what is needed to support a particular language, please help to add support for that language to implementations in other languages.
Extra credit: add a function to get a list of all solutions of a given language and run them to create a report on which solutions failed to run.
More credit: also test if the output of a solution compares to a given result. The expected output should be loaded from a file with the name of the task. (This way all implementations can share the same set of files, and anyone can add more files. In the future the content of these files could be stored directly in a section of the task on Rosetta Code itself.)
