Rosetta Code is a [[wp:programming chrestomathy|programming chrestomathy]] site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one approach to a problem in learning another. Rosetta Code currently has {{PAGESINCAT:Programming Tasks}} tasks, and covers {{#expr:{{PAGESINCAT:Programming Languages}}-2}} languages, though we do not have solutions to every task in every language. |

[[:Category:Solutions by Programming Task|A variety of tasks]] are listed, and visitors to this site are invited to [[:Category:Unimplemented_tasks_by_language|solve the tasks in the language of their choice]]. The tasks cover everything from the mundane [[Empty Program]] to the classic [[Towers of Hanoi]], the practical [[User Input]], the mathematically-inclined [[Lucas-Lehmer test]], and the involved yet entertaining [[RCRPG]].<br> |

While there's plenty to read and study, you can always [[Help:Contribute Content|contribute your own code]]. You can also connect with the rest of the Rosetta Code community at the [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump|Village Pump]], or on any page's Talk page. If there's a language missing, feel free to add it. If there's a task you'd like to see, create it. If you think a task can be solved using a more practical or more illuminating approach, add it.<br> |
