Deduplicate "Brainfuck generator" kata #84

Closed hobovsky closed 2 years ago

hobovsky commented 2 years ago
  1. Brainfuck generator

    • Published Jul 2016, author active.
    • No pending issues.
    • Pending Rust translation.
  2. Generate BF Program from Target Output

    • Published Dec 2016, author active.
    • One pending issue.
    • Pending Java translation.

Both kata are very similar: ranked as 6 kyu, and have similar satisfaction (~95%) and completion rate (~100+ solutions). They accept the same type of solutions (the most trivial programs, not optimized for length of code). Both kata have the same amount of translations and languages, and no overlap between them. Whichever kata gets selected to stay, the other one will have to be merged into it.


Conclusion:

hobovsky commented 2 years ago

Since both kata are very similar, I vote to keep the older one (i.e. 1.). As both authors are active, I'd hope they'd help with migration of translations ;)

wtlgo commented 2 years ago

I also think we should merge the second one into the first one, and keep the first.

Blind4Basics commented 2 years ago

Authors should almost discuss between them to get an agrement. If they cannot, then the community could step up and take over the decision?

ejini6969 commented 2 years ago

I haven't solved any of them, but I do not have any preference whatsoever.

Kacarott commented 2 years ago

I agree with keeping 1. In the case where two katas are of about equivalent quality, the older one should always be prioritised.

2bitsin commented 2 years ago

Author of first one here I'm fine with whatever action you take.

monadius commented 2 years ago

The second kata has an incorrect BF interpreter (at least in JS): the command . does not output 0.

monadius commented 2 years ago

I vote to keep 1 and retire 2. It will be easy to move 2 languages; moreover, this kata deserves more translations.

hobovsky commented 2 years ago

Since both authors explicitly stated they will be fine with any decision, I think it's OK to conclude early.
