The result of the debate was '''delete'''. Two editors have suggested that the article be redirected to [[Flex lexical analyzer]], but this seems unreasonable as [[Flex lexical analyzer]] is not (from what I gather from the article) a programming language. So why redirect a programming language of any kind to it? Just because of a similiarity in the name? That seems sub-optimal. Consequently, I am interpreting the redirect votes as "delete". If you have valid reasons why I should reconsider, please feel free to contact me on my talk page.

*'''Delete'''. Not notable, at least yet. They have over 2000 downloads but I found no mention of actual external use. Written by two people, used just in small company (alsoft isn't well known brand), no revolutionary features claimed. The article and Czech variant [http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex] were created by one of language authors. Do not redirect to the parser as it is misleading.

*'''Delete.''' --[[User:Egg|Egg]] <small>[[User talk:Egg|&#9993;]]</small> 01:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

*'''Redirect''' to [[Flex lexical analyzer]]. It is very rare for a proprietary computer language to have any real influence on the world at large; Visual Basic, Applescript, and similar OS or API-specific scripting languages are probably the only significant exceptions. (Consider [[RebolREBOL]] -- it seems to be targeted at the same audience as Perl or Python, but it has no visibility to speak of, at least partly because it's proprietary.)

*'''Keep''' – This isn't well known language, but it has some interesting ideas and I have read some articles about them. I don't use it (it doesn't work on my platform and I prefer mainstream languages), but I don't agree that it is completely insignificant. --[[User:Petr.adamek|Petr.adamek]] 10:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete.''' Not notable. [[User:Tom.k|Tom.k]] 10:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
