This article doesn't appear to refer to an actual programming paradigm that was ever used by anyone. It seems to be a concept that was promoted by Charles Simonyi through his company Intentional Software, but that company is now defunct and I can't find any evidence that Simonyi ever gained any traction in moving this from an idea to an actual implementation that was adopted by anyone. Google reveals a couple of people criticising the idea back in the day, and marketing materials from the now-defunct company. Unless someone knows something about this that I don't, I think the best course of action would be merging relevant content from this article into Charles Simonyi and/or Intentional Software and deleting this page. -- LWG talk 20:01, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Not opposed to a merge or a redirect here, but most of the sourcing I can find is closely tied to Simonyi. Don't think we have enough coverage to establish notability of this particular subject. HyperAccelerated (talk) 04:39, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
