This page was put up for deletion on 28 March 2004 and it was decided to keep the page. See Template:VfD-Brief overview of the syntax of Java for the discussions that took place. Jay 19:38, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Maybe not deleted, but perhaps reorganised or moved to a page specificly about curly brace languages?


Why the title change? This article is not about "Syntax of programming languages". It's about "Curly bracket programming language"s. I suggest it be moved back to that title. -- Tarquin 17:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

This page appears to have started at the curly bracket name, and only discusses them and their history. A generic syntax page might be good, but this isn't it. (Others have said this, I'm doing the offical ask.)

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one sentence explanation, then sign your vote with ~~~~

History

A little more history please? Specifically, an explanation that programmming languages started out with teletypes that could only print DIGITS AND UPPER CASE CHARACTERS, and that curly bracket programming languages followed from the introduction of 'video terminals'.

List of languages

The article contained a long list of languages under the heading Languages. It seems logical to assume that these are examples of 'Curly bracket programming languages', or perhaps it is a list of all the 'Curly bracket programming languages'. However, it can also be a list of languages that might be interesting for people interested in the subject.

In my opinion, a simple list of languages contains no information. It has no semantics.

In an attempt to solve this, I guessed what the list was for, and added the following introductory sentence:

The curly bracket programming style is used or at least supported by the following programming languages:

Can anyone confirm that that introductory sentence is correct? Johan Lont (talk) 08:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
