::Also, the description was a copy-paste of a text that belongs to the subject's website, and that appears verbatim over a whole bunch of sites online. I've modified it to focus on the subject rather than just advertising it, but I'm still not sure what is meant by some things and whether they are relevant, such as ''an idiom called "temporal recursion"'', or how is it that the interpreter has been modified from TinyScheme 1.35 - [[User:Frankie|frankie]] ([[User talk:Frankie|talk]]) 16:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
:::I'll answer both comments here: temporal recursion is a key feature of Impromptu. Functions end up with a "callback" call, which schedules a new execution of the function at a given time, optionally passing arguments. You can see it around 1:10 in the video. You are right about the code examples. The video, however, illustrates the "paradigmatic features of the environment", as you said and is not at all a tutorial (you can see Andrew Sorensen editing the code, live). Have a look at it, the music is excellent. To be honest, I've never seen a video in a Wikipedia article either. But the software allows it and it fits in this case.

:::::What does this video demonstrate? Does it have any audio? It doesn't work for me all under IE, so I'm definitely missing a plug-in there. Under Firefox, I get video but no audio. It's just a silent screen shot video as someone edits something (who knows what or why) in a Lisp-like language with a full-screen editor. Do I need specific plug-in to make this do something useful?

:::::: I have no idea exactly what it's trying to show. Sorenson has a bunch of these on his Vimeo channel. The video uploaded here only works for me ''with audio'' if I download the ogv (click more) an play it in VLC. The audio is 6-channel Vorbis, which is rather uncommon, I suspect. Triggers a known Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521615]. Another good reason to remove it. There should be a much simpler example in this article.

I've restored the video (see the rationale here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_June_6#File:Study_in_keith.ogv ).[[User:Pygy|Pygy]] ([[User talk:Pygy|talk]]) 10:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Now we've established notability, I've trimmed the references back to the most relevant ones. [[User:Yaxu|Yaxu]] ([[User talk:Yaxu|talk]]) 22:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks Yaxu. I've been meaning to do it for a while but haven't had the time to check which ones were relevant. Actually, I haven't done anything else on the article for that same reason, and I doubt I'll find time to dwell into the subject in order to assist here anymore. Keep up the good work - [[User:Frankie|frankie]] ([[User talk:Frankie|talk]]) 22:44, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
