Line 4:
Would a solution which includes a specific platform restriction be acceptable from a language which is not normally restricted to that platform? (For example, assuming a specific operating system so that it can link to device drivers provided by that OS? Or, for example, assuming a specific web interface mechanism so that it can ship relevant bits of javascript [or vbscript, if the author was so inclined] down to a specific version of a specific browser?) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
: This is a task that typically requires some kind of terminal. A lot of languages, but not all, work in such environments and have their standard input and output directed to such by default. There are nuances, but they're still portable in principle. As such it's worth having the task. Restrictions on applicability of solutions should be noted, of course; that's normal rules for RC. (I'd expect most solutions to work on either Unix or Windows, but not both.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 18:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
