Talk:Pure (programming language)

Please do not delete this information to an important programming language which is in widely used. One may certainly imporve the article, however, not letting it disappear in nirvana. I'm going to try ASAP.

The LLVM 3.0 release notes will reference Pure if anyone wants to add it as citation somewhere http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html snaphat (talk) 02:10, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sieve of Eratosthenes

In the examples section, the code given as the "sieve of Eratosthenes" does not appear to be a true sieve of Eratosthenes. It looks more like a Turner's sieve -- a simpler but computationally far less efficient algorithm. 174.27.229.215 (talk) 00:50, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to complete the merge I proposed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pure (programming language) (3rd nomination). Tagging AfD participants: User:HyperAccelerated, User:IntGrah, User:JPxG, User:Adam_Sampson. Not going to do a formal WP:MERGEPROP because I can never remember all the steps.

@Suriname0 Oppose I think Prolog would be a better example to cite rather than Pure in the article on rewriting. Perhaps there are yet better examples. IntGrah (talk) 23:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Suriname0 Your proposal sounds good to me. But I'd agree with IntGrah that Prolog is a much better-known example, so I'd add it as another example rather than replacing existing ones. Adam Sampson (talk) 03:49, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response. I'm fine with this. I'll redirect this page to rewriting and add a sentence about the Pure programming language. You are free to make amendments to what is said about the language in that article, but it appears that there's several opinions that all agree that this should no longer exist as a standalone article.
