This article has been tagged for sources and notability since October 2011, but there is still no evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The only thing cited in the article that could be regarded an an independent reliable source is one paper presented at a conference, not enough on its own to establish notability. A Google search produced mainly download sites, blogs, wikis, etc etc. (The article was deleted via PROD in October 2013, but has since been restored because an editor asked if he or she could see the deleted content.)

- Apparently it can't be merged until there are sources ti establish WP:WEIGHT of the subject within the target article. Primary sources – all that we have right now – are not enough for that. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 00:57, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- 'Strong Keep It's a well established programming language and I think due to it's nature passes WP:GNG. I thought it was brand new, i.e. >2-3 years old, but it's been on the go since the turn of the century. It's so unusual as an offshoot from an extremely venerable dev. language. scope_creep talk 15:35 7 May 2014 (UTC)
