::The distinction between languages and implementations is still worth making though; a language article should have a sentence or two in the lead stating implementation status (one, many, none :-) ), and a section summarizing notable existing implementations, possibly with a list of links to the article-worthy. It's hard to imagine a credible PL writeup that doesn't have this kind of basic info, so I think it should be part of the requirement to have a project-conforming article. Conversely, a PL article should '''not''' say that a language is "interpreted" or "compiled", since it is a property of implementations not languages - my little title-hacking project has given me a change to observe the terrible state of PL content firsthand, and lots of articles are messed up this way.

Just to remind you, there's a template named '''<nowiki>{{compu-stub}}</nowiki>''' which you can (and I think should) use instead of <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> when dealing with programming language stubs. It produces the following message: {{compu-stub}} That will make it significantly easier for everybody to find and fix prog lang stubs as the [[:Category:Computer stubs]] is only one hundreth of a fraction of the size of [[:Category:Stub]]. :) --[[User:ZeroOne|ZeroOne]] 23:24, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
