Yet another programming language that didn't take off. There are bazillions of them. —Wasell^(T) 18:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep Whether it took off or not isn't at issue (see Ford Edsel). What's more important is whether anyone paid attention to it doing it. As the author was _why, that's likely to generate interest from the outset.

As to whether it "took off", then it has already. It's used by at least one group of drone flyers for image processing as it's fast, tiny and expressive for contemporary "what the cool kids are writing" coding style. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment: Have these drone flyers (or anyone else) publicly written anything that mentions that they are using the potion programming language? Dear Andy Dingley, do you have a name for this group or anyone in it? Even a few blog posts that don't qualify as Wikipedia:Reliable sources would lead me to support keeping this article a little longer -- that would convince me that there is a good chance this language will meet the Wikipedia: Notability guideline. Alas, I find it difficult to search for people using potion, because autocorrection tries to "help me" by giving me a bunch of irrelevant pages about finding position. --DavidCary (talk) 15:37, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
