no source listed for the claim that Turner considers Miranda "dead,"

There's no source listed for the claim that Turner considers Miranda "dead," and that sentence was submitted anonymously (although apparently by someone who knows a lot about Turner). Can anyone cite a reference on this?

Well, Miranda looks kind of dead to me. I was curious about it, and I tried to find the company which is supposed to be selling it, Reasearch Software, Ltd. And I can't. If a software company doesn't have a website in this day and age... --Ansible 04:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason why he drops out of the comment, only to immediately start a new one?--80.135.92.95 21:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That piece of code is using Miranda's literate script mode: every line _not starting_ with ">" is a comment. The confusing part is that the author starts the above comment with ">" (which would indicate it's actually code!), but then proceeds to write an "||", which indicates it's a comment after all. There, I answered your question after only 4 years! 201.231.81.53 (talk) 00:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Introduction

The lead begins "Miranda is a non-strict..." where "non-strict" forwards to the lazy evaluation page. This doesn't seem correct as there are many non-strict languages that aren't lazy. I haven't touched anything though as I'm not sure what the edit should be. --91.231.145.253 (talk) 09:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
