Talk:Alphabetical list of programming languages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are now programs that are listed but have no page in wikipedia or external link. Would it be better to remove them? statsone 20:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Isn't it assumed that lists in wikipedia are alphabetized? shouldn't this page be called simply List of programming languages? Kingturtle 16:43 May 3, 2003 (UTC)
Agreed. We probably can merge this to List of programming languages, which is simply a navigation page currently. -- Taku
I don't agree. The page "List of programming languages" has links to lists arranged by various criteria: this one is simply alphabetical. That makes perfect sense to me. JamesBWatson
I'm trying to make all these links blue. Perhaps it could be featured or something. [wossi] 21:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The description "all notable programming languages in existence, currently or since the dawn of computing" seems to me a rather grandiose claim. Who is to decide what is notable? Is there a case for rephrasing this description? JamesBWatson
Is Assembly really a programming language or an Assembly Language? I suppose you could giggle the definitions, but I think it'd be better to put a link in the header, maybe for machine code as well? ~ capi Crimm
- Nor is CSS or XML, and I doubt UML is. XSLT is valid(it's turing complete at least, again, I consider it iffy). This page really needs to be cleaned. I'll add a tag later.
[edit] What about rendering description languages?
By these I refer to SGML, XML, HTML for data description and document rendering LateX, TeX, etc. for document rendering Dot , for graph description POVRay, for graphics scene description
These descriptive language do not qualify as programming languages?
Also - in terms of formal language theory, what language class would they fall under?
