Thanks for joining! I see someone else has, too. :) Hopefully this will 
develop into a useful resource!

The Rosetta Code project indeed looks similar, but as you mentioned, 
it's focus is a bit different. It may be a great source for this project 
(if the source allows it).

The main difference is that CtC is meant to explain "How to do X using Y 
as a frame of reference". Rosetta seems to be more "Here is problem X, 
and here is hows it's solved in all these languages".

Very useful, certainly, but an important difference in focus.
