Barszcz source code repository
http://www.barszcz.net

'Barszcz' [often written 'Borscht'] is a traditional Eastern and Central
European soup of red beetroot that comes in many regional and seasonal
varieties. The 'Barszcz.net' website presents a recipe for Ukrainian Barszcz
and a first contribution to its source code repository: Jaromil's 'string
based cooking' written in the programming language C.

Barszcz.net is looking for further entries to add to the repository in a
range of programming languages. If you have any barszcz source code that you
would like to share, please email 'info at barszcz.net' (replace word for
symbol before sending).

Barszcz.net stresses the parallel between programming and recipes in a
cookbook as a set of instructions to follow. Like cooking recipes, examining
the source code of a particular program reveals information about the
software in much the same way as the ingredients and set of instructions of
a recipe reveals information about the dish to be prepared. The analogy
reveals something of the interests involved in the preparation, execution
and consumption of the (software) work. Both programming and cooking can
express intentionality, style and should be accompanied with a health
warning. All source code/recipes submitted to the repository are released
under the GNU General Public License.
