Hi,


I'd like to introduce a rather new programming language project, PLEAC
(Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook), that you can find here:

http://pleac.sourceforge.net/

The PLEAC project aims at re-implementing the solutions presented in the
Perl Cookbook (by Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington, published by
O'Reilly) in other programming languages.

If successful, this project may become a primary resource for quick,
handy, and free solutions to most common programming problems using
higher-level programming languages. It could also be useful for comparison
on ease-of-use and power/efficiency of these languages.

(there is a fresmeat entry at http://freshmeat.net/projects/pleac)


If you find this project valuable and useful for the community, please
feel free to add a few lines on it in next LWN's "Development projects"
section :-).


Thanks for your attention.
