The result was keep. — CharlotteWebb 01:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
blatant bullshit. there's no such thing as very high programming language they might use syntax that is never used in other programming languages, such as direct English syntax. obviously a joke.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The P++ Man (talk • contribs) .
- Strong keep. No evidence it's a joke, examples are actual languages. The term gets many ghits for scholarly publications, and appears to have been the subject of a technical symposium. (Proceedings, Symposium on Very High Level Languages. SIGPLAN Notices (ACM) 9, 4 (April 1974), 1-132) DMacks 20:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- well show me some examples that are very high programming languages. i would be happy to use them —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The P++ Man (talk • contribs) 20:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- To quote the article itself "A good example of a very high-level programming language is Logo". BDL (see doi:10.1145/359863.359886) also. DMacks 20:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as per DMacks Caniago 21:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep, not keen on the phrasing of the AFD, but VHLL exists alright. As per DMacks, check out Logo, and ISBN 0070350981 is a tidy book on the subject. The Rambling Man 21:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep, please search when you are unfamiliar with a topic. Scheme (programming language) is another example. But arguably so is csh. --Dhartung | Talk 21:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per DMacks. By "Logo" I assume you mean Logo (programming language) not Logo. --Bduke 00:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep, the term seems really pointless and arbitrary compared to other high level languages, but apparently has been used in academia. Krimpet 01:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep More examples: SETL and ProSet. Google Books is awash with references on this topic [1], it's a shame the nominator didn't do a little basic research before declaring a notable topic "blatant bullshit". If you disagree with one statement, then remove it or request a citation. As it happens, you're wrong - there is no reason why parsable natural language syntax cannot be used as as a programming language with a clever enough compiler or interpreter. --Canley 05:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Obvious keep. You can't say that VHLL don't exist or aren't notable when the ACM has a symposium on them!--OinkOink 06:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
