I'm noticing lots of source code being generated, patches, handy functions etc. The HackerNews community revolves around link submission + discussion. The ArcLanguage community seems to be revolve more around "arc + coding + discussion". Would it be a good idea to generate a code snippet [0]. [1] for useful patches, handy bits of code you create? For example: Add to arclanguage a subdirectory /snippet where users can submit useful blocks of code with unique Urls you can point to for later reference. - user: assigned to user when submitted - title: name of code block - description: quick description of code, does it work? what problem does it address? - snippet: actual code - karma: users vote up/down & add to submitters karma Solving the problem of "handling snippets of code" being handed around could have a 10x effect on identifying useful bits of code, novel hacks & ultimately improve the language.
