Show HN: Equiv: Inter-Languages Equivalent Package Finder
- fka 11y agoHello! As you know, the programming world grows so fast. Loads of packages are being created day by day. And there are so many programming laguages around. When the developers try new languages, they need to reuse their experience. equiv allows you to use your experience in all programming languages. And it makes you adopt a new language faster. Let's say you are a Rubyist who wants to develop a web application with Python. Since you are a Ruby user, you already know Sinatra, but don't know the Python world. Just use equiv and it will find you the Python equivalent of Sinatra. The equiv is still in very early release, does not have much packages yet, but in time I want to extend them by the contributions of the community. We are waiting for your pull requests!
- sdogruyol 11y agoWow, this is pretty cool. It'll be a really useful tool for exploring new languages once it has enough data.
- saidozcan 11y agoReally nice idea. To have some base data quickly a script can be written to retrieve packages automatically from sources like Pypi by checking and matching some keywords from their description.
