Requested move 3 March 2023

The request to rename this article to Programming language design and implementation has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Creation of a Programming Language → Programming language design and implementation – Current title is suboptimal for several reasons. Proposed title is descriprive of what the article seems to be trying to achieve, and could fit pretty nicely as an elaboration of Programming_language#Design_and_implementation. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 21:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The proposed title is a better description of the topic. Wikipedia articles are not "how-to" documents, which the current title and some of the current content imply.

Support. Much more appropriate title. Need to avoid 'how-to'. Murray Langton (talk) 07:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I also agree, this title is much more appropriate than the one I chose.
