: They have a direct competitor. Or at least they used to. Darned if I can find it now. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 23:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
: I should add that one of my policies ''directly'' contradicts that of Wikipedia's. I'm entirely in favor of people who develop languages promoting their own languages on Rosetta Code, so long as those promotions take the form of code examples. Without a policy like that, it's doubtful we would have E, Ursala, Raven or any of a number of other not-widely-used languages. This policy contradicts three of Wikipedia's policies as they currently interpret them: Notability, primary sources and advertising. Their focus is on being a respectable encyclopedia. My underlying goal for Rosetta Code is to be a useful nexus for programmers, programming tool developers, programming tool users and students of those tools. So far, I'd have to say we're doing an excellent job. I have yet to hear a negative initial reaction from any programmer who I've described the site and its existing function and community to. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 01:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
