==Task focus and name?==
This might be better named as "Demonstrate how a provided function can be called from a foreign language". --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 14:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
: Task names should generally be short and sweet. A task summary might be appropriate. (Especially if we could implement something like task summaries as semantic properties) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I don't know why we chose that particular function for the task description. Couldn't we have just done something that produces a result from a couple of numbers? The example in the task description requires an unnecessary amount of work to demonstrate something that could in essence be much simpler. --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 14:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
: I think the reason in this case was to intentionally call out a non-trivial area of language compatibility. Being able to pass strings back and forth between languages (especially where some of the languages have very different ways of exposing strings to programmers) is a touchy subject. That said, it may be appropriate to split the task between trivial and non-trivial scenarios. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
