About

Feature shall allow members to compare the same set of code across different languages. Whether it's for comparison, or to get an idea of how it is written.

2. Each folder shall have 1 markdown file containing a brief description on the topic -- this will become the embedded message.
3. Small examples inside topic folders shall have the appropriate language extension (.cs, .py, .cpp, .sql, etc)
