I started to revise the text about arrays because it was outdated, slightly incorrect, and partially misleading.

{{ping|Chumpih}} I don't think [[MOS:TERM]] applies to [[Special:Diff/1083919386|this edit]]. It says {{tq|A technical or other jargon term being introduced is often being mentioned as a word rather than (or in addition to) playing its normal grammatical role}}, but in this case it is neither a technical term (rather, it is a proper name) nor is it being mentioned as a word. If the name of the language were 'Python' rather than 'B' I doubt anyone would write "A successor to the programming language ''Python''".
