about

• These are from katas on CodeKata, as a starting point.
• Intention to build the starting point for a collection of common and interesting languages and styles.
• Languages will be expanded to include koans and other popular learning materials.

I intend to build the coverage of katas in the same style. With the master branch containing katas and koans to be solved and another branch for solutions. There is huge crossover of ideas between different languages and paradigms, this is a way of exploring those.

All projects have been built using one of the JetBrains IDEs specific for the language.

code-kata's Issues

typescript

Add JavaScript

Groovy

Why groovy?

Groovy is commonly used to create gradle build scripts, frequently used to create Java projects and also projects for other languages.

Add reactive Java!

Replace each languages implementation with submodule

Add C++

Thought that C would be more interesting, probably is, but C++ seems to have grown a lot of the past 10 years!

C++ implementation could actually be OOP?

Add golang

Prolog

Prolog plugin for intellij https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9425-logtalk
Running prolog on a mac https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21597880/running-prolog-on-a-mac
Unit testing prolog http://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc/_SWI_/library/plunit.pl

Why Prolog?
Prolog is a logic programming language which is well suited for rules based applications, such as searching a database and natural language recognition.

Add Erlang

Add C

Node-JS tests didn't handle all assertions

Add elixir

Haskell

(c) Unit test implementation should be improved

Current approach is home grown - perhaps it would be better to use a C++ compiler to build C?

Add clojure (JVM language)

swift

Add python

Add C#

Add Rust
