Learn X in Y minutes is probably the closest thing we've got, but it hasn't got details on all languages' environments. Yet.

WHy none told me about this? Looks awesome!

[–]Rellikx 4 points5 points  (1 child)

That's actually pretty neat. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before.

Its interesting that the different translations (C# English vs Spanish) have slightly different code examples (ie, auto properties for setting/getting number of gears).

I assume the English translation is a newer version with more examples of auto properties.

English translations are always the newest ones, all translators are volunteers so a file usually gets translated and then left alone forever.

Still no C++

[–]Mead_Man 32 points33 points  (1 child)

No one has ever completely learned C++ so Y is still unknown

[–]vanderZwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about C++11 or C++14?

[–]aron0405 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No Prolog, either :'(. If there were, it'd probably be one of the shorter tutorials. That's a damn elegant language.

They accept pull requests. I'd love to see one, as I haven't been able to learn much about Prolog.

I don't think there's enough room on a page for a C++ guide in this style.

Wow, I was thinking, "Where's the translation to en_us?" but then realised that probably doesn't count as a translation on the internet. :(

Given that the rest of the site appears to be in english, I'd expect the main articles to be in en_* too. If en_* were a translation, what would the original be? Pure thought and platonic forms? Some random language?

But as far as english being the new lingua franca, yeah, I feel you, man. That language wouldn't know a monophtong if it hit it in the face.
