Talk:Turing (programming language)

message: Turing, while hard to understand is quite fun once you get the hang of it.
--> Turing is not hard at all. Turing is a very easy language to learn, just that it is not as powerful as other programming languages, such as C++ and Java.
: Actually, it has exactly the same power as C++ and Java, i.e. it allows you to compute anything that is Turing Computable.
:: That's a ridiculous assertion, you can build a Turing machine with ticker tape and a pencil. If language A performs tasks faster than language B, then language A is more powerful than B. If language A offers more flexibility than language B, then language A is more powerful than language B. Turing has neither the speed of C++, the compactness of C nor the functional capabilities of Ruby.
If by fun you mean the biggest waste of time in my entire highschool career (worse than grade 9 gym!).
:Sounds like a problem in the writer rather than in the language!
This language feels really slow compared to other, more popular ones but it's very easy to get into.
Turing is used in Canada as a educational programming language.  It needs to be simple and easy to understand so young programmers can establish interests in programming faster (is they like it).  If Grade 9 programming was something like C++, I bet there won't be as many students realizing the fun of programming.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Facultyofmusic (talk • contribs) 18:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation Page Needed

message: I don't want to see this language article deleted.  The language has been around for over 30 years and I was a first user of it back in 1983.  I know it was used up to 2009 as a teaching language, and maybe beyond that. It does have historical significance, and I agree that additional references need to be found and listed.  I am sure there are other secondary and tertiary references to be found.  I added the following book to the article already. Brianonn (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion

message: After the delete proposal above I started to look at the Turing+ and Object-Oriented Turing pages, and I think those dialects don't warrant their own pages and can be merged into this general article about the Turing Programming Language Brianonn (talk) 00:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
