Plagiarism detection for Julia?

[Thibaut Cuvelier]

Dear all,

Using Julia for the assignments in an mathematical optimisation, I'd like to check for plagiarism in what the students hand in. The university has already invested in a software package for text (such as reports), but it does not work well with source code.

Has anyone developed software to detect plagiarism in Julia code? Otherwise, I might develop an extension for JPlag (there doesn't seem to be open source plagiarism detection programs…); any Julia grammar would be welcome!

Thanks for your help!

In case you are not aware, there is a pure-Julia version (as opposed to scheme) of the parser, that is easier to use for tooling purposes:

There is a partial antlr grammar for julia within the Eclipse plugin. Note that it neither complete nor endorsed.
