→Changing criteria to notability: support |

Line 114:
::Well Visual Studio didn't support C99 for a long time (until after publication of C11), causing many projects to avoid it (e.g. [https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-February/116258.html]) so not sure what large projects you're referring to. Of course there are projects using it but every version of every language has projects written in it.
::I think the most enforceable way to make it consistent would be to only list each language once and remove all the extra versions. Then the question is whether C89 is a different language from C99, to which the answer is no (pretty clearly, C99 is backwards compatible to C89), whereas for others it is less clear, e.g. ALGOL 60 vs ALGOL 68 - but there I think it is clear that all of the implementations are distinct hence ALGOL 68 is a distinct language from ALGOL 60. So with this policy we wouldn't list Python 3 (the incompatibilies are minor, many programs run unchanged in Python 3), and similarly Java and C++ are single entries. --[[User:Mathnerd314159|Mathnerd314159]] ([[User talk:Mathnerd314159|talk]]) 20:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
:'''Support.''' Notability defined as [[WP:WTAF]] works well for most lists and I would support that here. It is indeed less subjective than historically significant. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 19:55, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
