===Welcome to Rosetta Code===
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 language in learning another. Rosetta Code currently has {{PAGESINCAT:Programming Tasks}} tasks, and covers {{PAGESINCAT:Programming Languages}} 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 solve the tasks in the language of their choice. The tasks cover everything from the mundane [[Empty Program]] to the esoteric [[Towers of Hanoi]].<br>
