Line 79:
*A template like this could indeed be at least slightly useful for navigation between languages, so at this juncture I would no longer like to campaign for its deletion. I guess I've caught the fever. :)
*The term "major" is too nebulous for that to be the only qualifying term in the name of the template itself. "Major" by itself is unencyclopedic. We should be open to a name change for the sake of clarification.
*It is my understanding that there are three categories of languages under the "major" banner here, that being 1) Major contemporary languages in use by programming professionals, 2) Major contemporary languages in use by academia, and 3) Major historical languages (or precursors to contemporary languages). Therefore, I propose that the current "major" list constitutes a jumble of ideas and should be split into three templates. After all, if we're talking about "ease of navigation," shouldn't we then also be ensuring that the languages in the list actually have a meaningful relation to each other? For instance, I really don't see why [[PHP]] and [[Haskell programming language|Haskell]] should be in the same list/template.
If we go with splitting this template into three, I would also incorporate much of the criteria that Deco brought up. And thank you Deco for taking up the challenge.
