The landing page defines the goals of Rosetta Code in terms of:
# demonstrating "how languages are similar and different"

So what happens when approaches to problem -solving and the composition of code differ between users of the same language ?
 
My view is that diverging approaches are the life-blood of Rosetta Code, and that the creative response to difference is simply to submit alternative drafts.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
All drafts provide interesting insight into differing approaches, and the optimisation of different types of value.
