Line 253:

: This is a problem across many computer science articles, I like to call it "language creep". The only solution it to prune mercylessly, preferably leaving only a single example in a non-real language like [[Programming Computable Functions|PCF]] or psuedo-ML. Also, the section should under not be called "Example in <language X>", this is too big of an invitiation to add an additional section "Example in <language Y>", and so on. Occasionally it might be useful to add a link to [[wikibooks:Algorithm Implementation|Wikibooks]] or [http://rosettacode.org/ Rosetta Code] with more examples. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 16:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

::I agree: prune heavily to just the one or two best examples. No need for a gallery of languages. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 19:31, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
