* Language features should be explained in less proprietary jargon if possible. I think the current version of the article does that reasonably well. It explains what "temporal recursion" is for example. Nota bene.
* An example of code is present in the more developed articles on programming languages. Sometimes editors complain that these are "original research" unless they are copied from somewhere else, but ulimately this seems common practice in Wikipedia. (See discussion on this at [[Talk:ChucK]].) Given that Impromptu is aimed at live coding, I think a video is appropriate, at least as an external link. It would probably be less dazzling if the example included in Wikipedia were just a standard block of code accompanied by the audio sample produced. In the live demos Sorenson puts out, it's not exactly easy to follow what's going on unless you know Impromptu already. They're mostly for the wow factor.

The feature did sound like something to include, the only thing is that this information needs to be put in a context so that the user of the article understands what that means to a certain level, and there is very little to be understood by the statement that it is "temporal recursion". Now it can be linked to Clojure, and that brings the capabilities of the subject into a proper context. One question, how is it that this framework uses triggers that equivalent packages don't? - [[User:Frankie|frankie]] ([[User talk:Frankie|talk]]) 18:50, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
