Subject: New ACM challenge is language-discriminatory
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:26:46 +0100
Date: 2009-12-18T12:26:46+01:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <qtofgh.28u.ln@hunter.axlog.fr> (raw)
ACM has launched a new programming challenge:
http://queue.acm.org/icpc/index.cfm?page=faq
However, the only languages allowed are C++, C# and Java.
I could understand reasons for having everyone compete with the same
language, but if more than one is allowed, it should be open to all
(including our favorite language, of course ;-) ).
Is anyone on this list influential enough at ACM to address this issue,
or should we start a (mail) mass action?
