https://rosettacode.org/wiki/ is a nice place to find code samples for every programming language
I really like your idea, one simple feature I would like is just a button or else to simply display a language at random. And out of curiosity, in which language did you code this site ? The filters by paradigm are a good idea. I agree the benchmarks are difficult to find and also sometimes kinda biased, so I think they may be not a good idea to add.
Maybe another feature could be to add a link to google trends.
Anyway, good idea, keep up !
> relative performance between all of those languages, to have a "Performance" or "Speed" filter. But benchmarks for so many languages is not easy to find.
All those comparisons are usually biased, just specify in what area the language is most useful, otherwise you end up presenting too many meaningless results. Better focus on tooling description, library availability and things that are useful
This looks interesting - it would be helpful to be able to search by available runtimes, e.g. if it compiles to jvm or dotnet or wasm, or if it's gc'd. Would also help to differentiate paradigms between primary and additionally supported ones like OOP with functional features versus functional first with OO support.
On mobile the navigation is not convenient. If you skip ahead to >> then you are at page 15, somewhere in the Cs. Pushing >> again just advances the page to 16.
It would be nice to search or filter. This is probably something that can be done on the frontend.
Thank you all for your ideas and reflections. It's much appreciated.
En tout cas, je crois deviner par ton nom que tu dois être francophone, ça fait plaisir à voir sur HN !
An important facet I constantly find myself evaluating is: "can it be compiled to run in a browser?", Meaning, whether it can be compiled to JS or WASM.
Plus:
- does it have meta-programming/reflection abilities?
- does it have proper support in a modern IDE/editor?
