- brabel 6y agoThe recommendation is to write only idiomatic code that implements a certain algorithm without tricks: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#style-guide https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/... Did you actually see programs that do not follow the guidelines or you're just stating this as what you would expect?

- igouy 6y agoSeems like those Lua fasta programs should be removed.
