'''Rosetta Code''' is a [[wiki]]-based programming [[chrestomathy]] website with implementations of common [[algorithms]] and solutions to various [[computer programming|programming]] problems in many different [[programming languages]].<ref>Ralf Lämmel. "Software chrestomathies". {{doi|10.1016/j.scico.2013.11.014}}. 2013.</ref> It is named for the [[Rosetta Stone]], which has the same text inscribed on it in three languages, and thus allowed [[Egyptian hieroglyphs]] to be deciphered for the first time.<ref

The Rosetta Code web repository illustrates how desired functionality is implemented very differently in various programming paradigms,<ref>Neil Walkinshaw.
