:Hi DanBron. How does code golf help to compare languages? The whole idea of golfing seems to be to obfuscate rather than elucidate. I don't think that golfing helps RC myself. -1

: Code Golf is one of the things we ''do not do here'', along with performance comparisons. The problem with CG is that it tends to produce excessively compressed entries, which usually goes against the principle of ''idiomaticity of example''; each example should show a newcomer to the language how they should solve that particular task. (The problem with performance comparisons? Well, apart from nasty code, they also suffer from being impossible to compare except on one particular system; they're just too localized in both space and time.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 07:25, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
