WHY IT MATTERS

Code is written to be read, yet rarely to be looked at. Programming Museum hangs hello, world, design patterns, classical algorithms and borrowed open-source files in themed halls, each with a curator's note on why it is worth a look. The lecture theatre is free and the playground lets you push running code around. No login, paywall or advertising, nothing collected about visitors, and borrowed works appear only under MIT or the Unlicense, pinned to their commit.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • A 'reading the classics' tour for onboarding new hires
  • A coding class that discusses one exhibited work at a time
  • An internal exhibition of your own codebase's best pieces

WHO IT'S FOR

Programming teacher
needs classic code to look at with students
Developer
wants to browse well-written code on a break

CAVEATS

  • No GitHub repository; no README to verify (site text only)
  • The site's own license is not stated
  • Some famous programs are missing for licensing reasons, it says
