This programming language is notable because it represents a productivity improvement (generates from a single program the server code, client code, AJAX interoperation as a single function call, and typed sql access), and an integration quality enhancer vs actual solutions. Check some reviews here:

Phys.org
ComputerWorld
MIT (more technical).

And it works. Other web integration languages, the Links (programming language) is nor as ready, neither as powerful, as Ur, and is also in the wikipedia Griba2010 (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]

The 3rd link is not a sign of notability. The first two both indicate that this is a paper that hasn't even been released yet. The phys.org one says "Provided by MIT", so is not independent of the subject and does not count towards notability. There is no sign of anyone ever programming in this language or gaining any traction outside these essentially press releases.Gaijin42 (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, this page lists some production applications that use the language, including the moderately popular BazQux Reader. Not to mention the hundreds of results found in github search alone. --Waldir ^talk 19:32, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
