Note to future VfD nominators: please don't mass-nominate like this, it makes maintenance a headache. Thanks, • Benc • 16:50, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

List of esoteric programming languages

Delete list-article, most significant examples are mentioned in the article Esoteric programming language. For the individual entries see below. -- Chris 73 Talk 12:01, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

Keep. Could be made into a category, though, I presume. -- Schnee 14:22, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. I would suggest keeping this as a place to preserve the thin residue of useful content from the rest. As against a category, it has the advantage that we can include webpage links to languages that are somewhat interesting, but may not merit full articles (for example, several "single instruction set" languages can reference the fact that, whilst intended as a joke, it has been demonstrated that a useful and powerful computer can be built with a single instruction "set"). I note also, however, that this list includes several languages that may be little known, but which under the given definition are not "esoteric" (AKI, Bon programming language, MDPN, MUF, o:XML, SSK and maybe ALPACA). Oh, and get rid of the red links so people don't recreate articles. Securiger 16:17, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
