Line 157: ::{{Reply to\|David Eppstein}} Thank you for your comments. I would like to make the point that articles in Google Scholar are not an absolute indication of notarietiy. I have been making the argument that researches of new programming languages do not necessarily write scholarly research papers on new languages, but do however write articles in blogs and have conversations with peers, in comments, in places like slashdot and reddit. A good example is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_(software) Puppet]]. I was able to find a single article on Google Scholar [[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=7037800&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D7037800 Article]] that is not even really about the software. You may say that proves your point one article but notice that for a programming language this popular and as useful as Puppet (Wikipedia uses it: [[http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/09/19/ever-wondered-how-the-wikimedia-servers-are-configured/ link]] I would argue that finding only one article is an indication that your contention that notability requires articles referenced in Google Scholar is false. I have argued that people interested in, and experts in language development, have shown interest in Nim and the article here should stay.

But I'm not convinced by the non-academic sources I've seen so far, either. —[[User:David Eppstein\|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein\|talk]]) 06:21, 5 April 2015 (UTC) *'''Keep'''.heard about nimrod here->http://www.nerds2nerds.com/?p=519 (a programming related podcast in Bulgarian and not sure if it can be considered as notable source but anyway...) and caught my interest
