This programming language does not meet the general notability guideline. The only information I could find about this language is 1) the main website 2) a powerpoint made by the author, that the author posed on lambda-the-ultimate 3) an unpublished pdf from the author about Cat's type system and 4) an artima.com article written by the author. Additionally, the author is the one who added this article to Wikipedia... Christopher Monsanto (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to Stack-oriented programming language, as a member of that class of languages. --Cybercobra (talk) 00:41, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Not notable, not used, and, frankly, anyone can make their own programming language if they know lex and yacc. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 00:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep because nothing good ever came of a deletion spree. Ubernostrum (talk) 03:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And what, pray tell, does that have to do with this article? --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 12:05, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Joy (programming language). I have no basic objection to merging to Stack-oriented programming language, but a merge to Joy I think would make more sense. Joy is lacking some sources that are present in the Cat article, and Cat has a section comparing Joy and Cat. Unscintillating (talk) 06:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
