Oct 3, 2016 at 14:36 comment added DJMcMayhem @WeeingIfFirst That's basically what sp3000's python answer is. As long as you can show a release date and version number, that sounds fine by me.
Oct 3, 2016 at 13:05 comment added Stewie Griffin In some languages there are functions added to each new version (one each year). In Matlab for instance, R2012a doesn't have a table function since it was first introduced in R2013a. Can I use this? Note, I'm not talking about fetching the year it was introduced, but rather if it works or not in the current version...

Oct 2, 2016 at 1:30 comment added DJMcMayhem @wheatwizard As long as the code is the same, the file extension/name doesn't matter.
Oct 2, 2016 at 1:14 comment added Wheat Wizard If different languages require different file extensions to compile/run can we write a polyglot between the two? i.e. Does our program have to have a static name between runs?

Sep 30, 2016 at 14:26 comment added Martin Ender "Latest commit does not count, unless there is a version number somewhere in the code." How about a commit that explicitly mentions the version? (This one specifically.)

Sep 29, 2016 at 15:41 comment added user56309 I did not see that.. I have many more reasons that this should stay open, though.
Sep 29, 2016 at 15:35 comment added user56309 I don't think this one is a duplicate at all. Even if it is, this challenge should be accepted as the 'original' because unlike the other one, this challenge encourages users to go out and learn about what they're using.

Sep 29, 2016 at 13:10 comment added user45941 @DJMcMayhem You could trivially modify the submissions by having them output the language's release year, and they would be competitive.
Sep 29, 2016 at 13:08 comment added DJMcMayhem @mego the main idea of the challenge is extremely similar, but you could not copy a single submission from the challenge and have it be competitive on this challenge. I believe this is a sufficient difference to make it not a duplicate.

Sep 29, 2016 at 7:49 comment added Adám "You may not use any builtins that give you information about the current version of the language you are using." My emphasis. May I look for the build date in the interpreter file?

Sep 29, 2016 at 4:03 comment added DJMcMayhem @dlosc Well, I don't want to unnecessarily exclude any languages, but I want to make sure that the "release date" stays completely objective. Can you think of any better ways to enforce a release date that would include more languages?
Sep 29, 2016 at 3:44 comment added DLosc Since Pip doesn't have a Wikipedia or Esolangs page, just has a GitHub, and hasn't had any "releases" in the GitHub sense of the word, is it ineligible for use in this challenge? (It does have a version number, which is updated at every commit.)
