== Notability ==
Every product article needs reliable independent sources [[WP:RS]] to establish notability [[WP:N]] as required by [[WP:GNG]] and [[WP:CORPDEPTH]].
The sources cited here are weak. I found the first one (Modular programming languages: 7th Joint Modular Languages Conference) [http://www.amazon.com/Modular-Programming-Languages-Conference-Proceedings/dp/3540409270#reader_3540409270 on Amazon] but according to the table of contents, the cited page 20 is in the middle of an article titled, "Event-Based Programming Without Inversion of Control", by Philipp Haller and Martin Odersky; David E. Lightfoot, named as the author is the volume editor. I wasn't able to find the article yet, but this sounds like a mention.
The second one (Future Information Technology, Part I: 6th International Conference) is better. It [http://www.amazon.com/Future-Information-Technology-International-Conference/dp/3642223087 hasn't been released yet] but after searching, I found it [http://www.worldcat.org/title/future-information-technology-6th-international-conference-futuretech-2011-loutraki-greece-june-28-30-2011-proceedings-part-i/oclc/743288033?title=&detail=&page=frame&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1007%2F978-3-642-22333-4%26checksum%3D2f368965a4018fb8f195284f641951bd&linktype=digitalObject online]; I'll update the reference in the article. And as a primary source, the sourceforge link is useless for establishing notability. I would prefer to see a second good source.
I'm also concerned that the article appears to largely paraphrase the [http://chapel.cray.com/ Chapel Overview] on the Cray site for the purpose of promoting [[WP:PROMOTION]] a future product (e.g., ''"It is being developed as part of the Cray Cascade project"'') [[WP:CRYSTAL]].

== Some Proposed Changes ==
{{edit COI|P|See below.}}
I have a conflict of interest with Chapel, so cannot make these changes myself, but propose the following improvements:
* updating the website from http://chapel.cray.com to https://chapel-lang.org to reflect a recent (fall 2017) change in the project's URL.
* <del datetime="2016-09-29T10:42">updating the external link to point to Chapel's GitHub repository (https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel) rather than the SourceForge repository which ceased to be the primary project repository in 2014.</del>
* <del datetime="2016-09-29T10:52">fixing the formatting of, or removing, the trademark (TM) symbols on the references to the Cray MTA / XMT extensions to C and Fortran in the "influenced by" section on the sidebar. In my Chrome browser on my laptop, they appear as "Cray MTATM /XMTTMextensions to..." rather than "Cray MTA (TM) / XMT (TM) extensions to..."</del>
* updating the "first appeared" date on the sidebar to an earlier year. 2003 is when the project started (https://chapel-lang.org/publications/PMfPC-Chapel.pdf) and was publicly announced. The earliest commits to the source repository were in 2004 (https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/graphs/contributors), the first by-request release was in 2006 (https://chapel-lang.org/publications/PMfPC-Chapel.pdf), and the first public release was in 2008 (https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/blob/master/CHANGES.md#version-08). I'm not sure what the current 2009 date refers to, but it seems misleadingly recent.
* updating the introductory text to refer to the DARPA HPCS program (which wrapped up in 2012) as where Chapel originated from, but not what drives it today (https://chapel-lang.org/publications/PMfPC-Chapel.pdf, https://chapel-lang.org).
* adding a reference to the Chapel Chapter from MIT Press' "Programming Models for Parallel Computing" (https://mitpress.mit.edu/programming-models-parallel-computing) to the "Further Reading" section (this is the PMfPC-Chapel.pdf document I referred to in the previous bullet).
Thanks for your consideration.

{{Reply to|136.162.66.1}} {{Partly done}}:
* Replaced [[Template:SourceForge]] with [[Template:GitHub]] in external links. ([[Special:Diff/741739593]])
* Formatted infobox <q>influenced by</q> section, dropped trademark notations and wikilinked to articles. ([[Special:Diff/741740560]])
As for the other three points I believe most of the statements are true. <cite>Programming Models for Parallel Computing</cite> is a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]], as the book author Bradford L. Chamberlain seems to be a <q>Principal Engineer at Cray Inc.</q> I will hold this edit request for another review by another author.
