Re: [Abstract-wikipedia] Wikilambda allows editors to create and maintain code

The proposal of wikilambda at [0] starts with: maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kind of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use. [0] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia#Proposal Then it goes into: from Abstract Wikipedia into the language of a Wikipedia. This allows everyone to read the article in their language. Wikilambda will use knowledge about words and entities from Wikidata. It seems to me that the first part is much different from the second part. The first part describes some kind of code repository (with versioning I assume). The second part focus on the main use case for that repository and describes to some extent what would be the required or necessary function that can be created inside the repository. The second part can be understood as the procedure required by abstract Wikipedia to do its work. I want to focus on the first part. If I understand correctly wikilambda is a *wiki for code*, that possibly allows translating procedure/function, documentation, and really any name into multiple natural languages. The programming language itself is not fixed yet. We know that we would like to make it possible to run programs on various existing programming language interpreter/compiler. That is already beyond the scope of this email. Here is the question: Is that correct that wikilambda is a repository for code that allows us to: 1) create, 2) maintain, 3) localize identifiers and documentation into multiple natural languages Is that all of wikilambda? _______________________________________________ Abstract-Wikipedia mailing list Abstract-Wikipedia(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/abstract-wikipedia
