I'm not seeing coverage that adds up to WP:GNG. Of the provided sources, only two even have the pretense of reliability: Hackaday and Packt Hub. Hackaday is apparently a blog and is thus assumed to not be reliable (see also this RSN discussion), whereas the content of the Packt Hub piece does not inspire confidence. Searching online, I wasn't able to find anything in internet or Scholar searches, although it's not impossible that I missed something due to the subject's minimalist name. signed, Rosguill talk 00:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know how I missed the previous nomination. I supposed I'll see if there's been more news since then. I do believe the language is more than a simple toy language though, it has at least received some form of coverage and a very popular github project with committed developers.

  • Comment I'm going to abstain from voting as I am the person who approved this article out of AfD. Admittedly, upon re-review, approving this article was likely a mistake. User:Rosguill did a much better job than I on the deep dive of looking at the sources. Part of this I'd like to attribute to me shaking off rust of taking a few years off from AfC. Hopefully this can fall under WP:PNJCS or maybe User:Tiraboschi will be able to come up with at least one solid source. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:17, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
