Appears to be a relatively new programming language. Can't tell the age. Can't tell notability of this, either. -- Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 07:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

- Transwiki to Wikibooks:Programming languages bookshelf. The source provided doesn't establish notability all by itself, but the content is a good summary that could be kept outside Wikipedia. Diego (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Comment. I found in-depth coverage in one independent reliable source: John Knight (February 2012), "New Projects: Fresh from the Labs", Linux Journal, 2012 (214): 62–65
{{citation}}:|chapter=ignored (help). Not enough to pass WP:GNG, but close. As to the age, the online Obix programming language documentation has "Copyright © 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011", so the language has apparently been under development for several years, but as recently as June 3, 2011, its designer wrote: "Obix is still in beta version". --Lambiam 14:23, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Comment The list of programming languages displayed in the following Wikipedia pages (and others too) are currently missing the Obix programming language: List of programming languages, List of programming languages by category, List of open-source programming languages. Instead of merely adding external links I created the 'Obix programming language' article, so that Wikipedia links (instead of external links) can be inserted in these lists and thus make them more complete. It is true that Obix isn't yet a famous programming language but this is also true (IMHO) for a number of other programming languages which are mentioned in the lists and which have their own Wikipedia page. I also thought that the reference to the article in Linux Journal makes Obix notable (at least to a certain degree) because Linux Journal itself is notable (otherwise it wouldn't have a Wikipedia page). To increase notability I added the following references to the article: Open-source project announcement on Coding forums, Maxtina Fernando (January 2012), "Obix Programing Language" (PDF), FOSS User Magazine, 2012: 25. I am an absolute Wikipedia newbie, so please correct me if my reasonings are wrong. Obligato17 (talk) 04:56, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
