Rosetta Code is useful, but many of the examples are horrendous. It's most likely because an example from one language is extrapolated into others without always considering if that language or community has its own way of accomplishing something. Occasionally I still use it, and it's good when you're a junior, but I think devs should try to move beyond it.

Better yet, maybe devs who know a language well should correct the examples to be more idiomatic? It is a wiki, after all.
Yes.
