Solution saving suggestion
Back to General discussions forum
It would be nice to be able to solve a task many times in different languages and have all those solutions saved. We should only get enlightenment once, however.
Thank you for suggestion - and thanks to Nicolas for speedy answer!
Yes, several solutions in different languages are possible now - for example look at Vallerious - he is practicing three languages as far as I know.
The minor inconvenience here is that language is determined automatically and sometimes it is determined wrongly. In very rare cases this can lead to unwanted overwriting of two solutions... Perhaps we need to have ability to set the language with submission...
Would it be possible to add a few more languages to the selector? I'd like F# and D (and maybe Go and Rust for the future) to be able to get rid of my "Other" listings.

Well, it is not hard, though I could not extend autodetector to them yet :)
I've just uploaded an update so there should be small language selector in submission form, up and right of solution textarea. Hope it works %)
Thank you.
Instead of the autodetector, could you put a dropdown on the submission form? (and fallback to the autodetector if the person does not specify his language?) It could default to the language we have defined in our profile...
Or feel free to ignore this suggestion. It's easy to propose ideas when someone else has to implement them. :)
I meant it is already here. I just was in hurry and failed to express myself and post a screenshot:
Awesome stuff Admin!
