  • # Languages made specifically for a challenge after it was published
  • This is the general problem with allowing languages newer than the challenge. This is already considered a standard loophole, and the `might be downvoted anyway...` point will apply.
  • Some questions heavily benefit from this(cops and robbers, answer chaining), so it might be worth enforcing on those questions since language restrictions are a general part of the game.
  • Eitherway, manually specifying this rather than having it be a role is better.

This is the general problem with allowing languages newer than the challenge. This is already considered a standard loophole, and the `might be downvoted anyway...` point will apply.

Some questions heavily benefit from this(cops and robbers, answer chaining), so it might be worth enforcing on those questions since language restrictions are a general part of the game.

Eitherway, manually specifying this rather than having it be a role is better.
