==Multiple inheritance==
Why is C# listed as a derivative of C, but Java is not? The whole premise of this list, i.e. that languages form a simple tree is a bit suspect. [[User:2988|0xBAC]] 06:56, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Python is based on Modula-2/Oberon models, not C.
It should be placed in Pascal family near Lua. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/93.80.71.142|93.80.71.142]] ([[User talk:93.80.71.142|talk]]) 22:19, 8 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Should [[SETL]] (correctly listed as parent of [[ABC (programming language)|ABC]] and grandparent of [[Python (programming language)|Python]]) really be a root? I have always assumed it was strongly influenced by [[ALGOL]]. However I cannot find any mention of this by Jack Schwartz or anyone else involved in the design of the language. --[[User:Finnw|Finnw]] ([[User talk:Finnw|talk]]) 20:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 
== D is more based on C++ than C ==
 
It was designed as a replacement for C++ and includes almost all features presented in C++. [[User:Vladislav.kuzkokov|Vladislav.kuzkokov]] ([[User talk:Vladislav.kuzkokov|talk]]) 08:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 
== Redlinked languages and [[WP:WTAF]]? ==
 
Should this list be subject to [[WP:WTAF]]? There are a number of redlinks, and more get added over time, although some are removed as well. On [[List of programming languages‎]], for example, the no redlink policy is fairly strictly enforced. I think the policy should apply here, but as it clearly has not been really enforced in some time (if ever), I thought I'd open a discussion before removing them. I've recently removed the redlinks from [[List of programming languages by type]], without objection (and some encouragement from another editor), although the problem was more severe there.

*'''Support.''' Go for it. [[WP:BEBOLD]]. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 08:07, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 
Done. A summary:
 
:A variety of redlinks and other items without articles were removed per [[WP:WTAF]].
:'''Today based''' section removed – no primary article, only a stub for the single derived language.
:'''Neat3''' removed – link only
:'''RPG''': link removed, in article
: '''<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>''' removed (no more references)
