:: If you want to do something like this, you should require sandboxing, or at least remind users of risks. What if I snuck in stuff to the effect of "rm -rf /" right before some hapless one blindly pulls the code and runs it? It's an open wiki, and should by no means be considered trusted. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 14:03, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
::: also true. this should come with sufficient warnings. and the more reason to present the source to the user and wait for confirmation before running, as the task states.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 16:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
:Perhaps a simpler task would be "Download all samples in Language X". That would provide a starting point for someone wanting to run them but would also be useful for other purposes such as programming language research (see "A Comparitive Study Of Programming Languages In Rosetta Code" by Sebastian Nanz and Carlo A. Furia), or using RC as a compiler test suite. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 11:04, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
