A new toy from GoogleSearch:
http://www.google.com/codesearch
Search public SourceCode. Or not so public - try searching for "confidential".
- No guarantees that the code works
- No tests
- Not necessarily easy to understand
- No documentation
- Might not do what it says

Wow! It's the perfect tool to support the GoogleAndPasteProgramming model!
Interesting idea/challenge.
I'd like to see a collection of proven (in the sense of FormalMethods) routines with tests, documentation, and with signatures from people I recognise as appropriate reviewers. Then if I want a QuickSort or HeapSort, I know where to get it, and that it will work as advertised.
Is this really so hard?
