Could something like code abstraction be done instead?<br><br>Haskell lends itself to solving problems in really generic, high level ways that reveal a LOT about the underlying problem structure. Through some combination of descriptive data types, generic type classes, and generic helper functions... You get an extremely clear problem description.<br>
<br>Example: <a href="https://github.com/amtal/snippets/blob/master/Key.hs">https://github.com/amtal/snippets/blob/master/Key.hs</a> (Haskell) versus <a href="http://siyobik.info/index.php?module=pastebin&amp;id=543">http://siyobik.info/index.php?module=pastebin&amp;id=543</a> (C++)<br>
<br>Clarity is a lot harder to score for, so you&#39;d probably need to score things via votes. (Unless there&#39;s a way to measure how &quot;generic&quot;/high-level code is?) Such a site would fill a very nice role, that the programming language shootout definitely does not fill. <br>
<br>Currently the only way to figure out what &quot;good&quot; Haskell code looks like is to browse lots of blogs, and dig through hackage until you find beautifully written packages.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 9:20 AM, Brandon S Allbery KF8NH <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:allbery@ece.cmu.edu">allbery@ece.cmu.edu</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Interesting, certainly, but I don&#39;t think I&#39;d recommend it as a service or<br>
feature.<br>
