Of course, this shouldn't apply to tasks where the system call is only loosely related to the task: for instance, "print Fibonacci to screen" should probably not be shown for all kinds of screen I/O, as the task is mainly about Fibonacci. But for tasks which are specifically about a system feature, it seems sensible to show how it's done on lesser known systems. |

Additionnally, for this kind of "system" task, for a given platform it's likely the answer will be similar in most languages, as it often involves some kind of system call available to most languages. |

This can be annoying - though this would not be the first time several answers on RC are similarly written: in some cases the same algorithm has been translated to dozens of languages. |
