Talk:Lists of programming languages

message: *Syncronize languages in each list
*Add summary beside each language (maybe?). Possible format:
**BASIC - Acronym for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, BASIC is a general purpose, compiled language for many platforms. Some dialects and implimentations are interpretted. Others have incorporated object oriented concepts. Based partially on Fortran II and Algol 60. Originally implimented for time-sharing mainframes in 1964 at Dartmouth College by John George Kemeny (1926-1993) and Thomas Eugene Kurtz (1928-) on the GE-265. BASIC is used often in education.
*Remove 'Language Type' categories from 'Language Categories' section.
*Separate alphabetical list from list of categories.

:"Add summary beside each language (maybe?)" I disagree, the page is cluttered as it is.  If we add more summary clutter it will become more difficult to spot junk. Dd75sg (talk) 04:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Somebody needs to write an article on the SAS language.  Until then, I'm pointing SAS to SAS Institute, which is apparently the closest appropriate article at this time. -- Stevietheman 05:03, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Is it PL/1 or PL/I  (ie: is it a one or an eye)
# eye, as in IBM. That is how the salesmen pronounced it, when I was in the computer room.
#PL/M is the CP/M version, smaller of course.
----
Digging around on IBM suggests that it is PL/I pronounced Pee Ell One (roman numeral for one).  That is consistent with my Dragon Book which uses PL/I except in one place where it uses PL/1 but I think that might be a typo.  It is called "PL/I" by the ANSI standard: ANSI X3.74-1987 (R1998) Title: Information Systems - Programming Language - PL/I General-Purpose Subset
:PLOne is how I always heard it (including taking a course in it) as in Programming Language One, as in PS/2, etc. Very IBMish. Gzuckier 19:16, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The ADL link goes to a disambiguation page that doesn't mention anything involving computers. Any ideas what it is? AdmN 01:36, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Added KIF, a standardized AI language. Rhmccullough (talk) 12:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  add new language 

message: Why is there no standard for this?  For mKR, I just copied Unicon, which has parentheses.  But looking at this big list, there are a lot without parentheses. Rhmccullough (talk) 12:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (languages) now suggests the suffix "(programming language)" for disambiguation. It used to recommend the unparenthesized suffix but this was changed some time ago. — Tobias Bergemann (talk) 12:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Certainly there should be some " by popularity" or " by estimated numbers of users" on Wikipedia, even if "it is hard to determine such numbers." Jidanni (talk) 12:21, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
