I would like to start with your inappropriate use of my last name several times Please follow traditions Now I learned about the Z page in Wikipedia from a friend I thought I could do a better job so I spent time to learn Wikis features and expand on the page As about the Google search I have been told about references to Z mostly in European forums etc In some cases that I became interested I had to use a translator I was shown how to do that so I could see what was being said about Z Unlike you those folks had looked at the Z syntax chart and were discussing its features About the use of h and namespace your are making a big guess about Z without first trying to understand what Z is You are wrong in guessing that Z is an extension of C the way C extends C by porting Simula classes No there is no chance of confusing Z files with C header files The notion of namespace is quite extensive in Z Please read more carefully before commenting You are wrong in guessing that Z is in competition with C It is not nor I care what C can or cannot do However in order to provide a perspective for illustrating ideas one has to make references to other known implementations C is such a minimal subset of Z that I can simply use C Simula ADA Eiffel and APL in order to provide context for understanding the contributions of Z to software development But then C includes C and Simula and is known to many Mr Best had your request for deletion not followed our discussion in the Googles C newsgroup I would have assumed that you are sincere and would have tried to clarify any confusion You are simply doing this and improperly using my last name for what happened there Please indicate some inconsistency within Z language or explain how you think Z is in competition with C rather than expressing your dislike For your information Z can link with C dynamic libraries for SOA There is no competition between Z and any other language But there is no reason not to provide a comparison as seen suitable
