Yet another programming language that didn't take off. There are bazillions of them. —<span style="font-family: serif">'''''[[User:Wasell|<span style="color: #0a0">Wasell</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Wasell|(<span style="color: #e66">T</span>)]]</sup>'''''</span> 18:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Line 8 ⟶ 14:
* '''keep''' Whether it took off or not isn't at issue (see [[Ford Edsel]]). What's more important is whether anyone paid attention to it doing it. As the author was [[why the lucky stiff|_why]], that's likely to generate interest from the outset.
: As to whether it "took off", then it has already. It's used by at least one group of drone flyers for image processing as it's fast, tiny and expressive for contemporary "what the cool kids are writing" coding style.

:: '''comment''': Have these drone flyers (or anyone else) publicly written anything that mentions that they are using the potion programming language? Dear [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]], do you have a name for this group or anyone in it? Even a few blog posts that don't qualify as [[Wikipedia:Reliable source]]s would lead me to support keeping this article a little longer -- that would convince me that there is a good chance this language will meet the [[Wikipedia: Notability]] guideline. Alas, I find it difficult to search for people using potion, because autocorrection tries to "help me" by giving me a bunch of irrelevant pages about finding ''position''. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] ([[User talk:DavidCary|talk]]) 15:37, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' if it is discussed in independent reliable sources, it is well hidden. I did not find anything with GoogleScholar. A lot of the hits were typos for "portion", and there were several for "Magic Potion", a ___domain specific meta-Language. I did find papers on GoogleScholar mentioning both Michael Fogus and Reini Urban, but none dealing with Potion. Fails [[WP:GNG]]. It does sound like an interesting language and I recommend Reini Urban's summary [http://perl11.org/potion/ here] (not an independet source). --[[User:Bejnar|Bejnar]] ([[User talk:Bejnar|talk]]) 18:50, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Yet another programming language with no obvious significance. The only thing in the article that looks like a reliable source is the Slate piece, but that one doesn't even mention the language. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 21:40, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
