Yes. For example I noticed the typescript one. The implementation is straightforward, yes, but it is just plain javascript. It doesn't need TSC at all. So why call it typescript? If you're going to say it is typescript at least use types, no?

Or the ruby ones. Not much like ruby I have ever seen. It's not particularly difficult to write C code that can be easily called from ruby which is why I guess most ruby programmers wouldn't bother to write code like this in ruby. If you want C, just write C!

I think all the implementations are straightforward as implementations. But few are the most idiomatic way to express the alogorithm in that language.

Specifically which "typescript one"? (Currently 15 typescript programs are shown.)

Specifically which "ruby ones"? (Currently 37 programs are shown.)

>> the most idiomatic way <<

One person's idiomatic is another person's idiotic.
