This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Pet-ro (talk | contribs) at 11:50, 4 January 2007 (moved Talk:Dylan programming language history to Talk:History of the Dylan programming language: proposed by IRelayer (Nov. 2006), done be pet-ro.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I believe that much of the content of this article is either irrelevant, too specific, or condensable into smaller chunks. A lot of it consists of what looks to be personal correspondence, quotes, first-hand recollections of events, name dropping, forum posts copied verbatim, and so on. Further, I suggest that, since higher profile languages, such as C and Java do not have seperate history pages, the relevant information in this article be relocated to the main article. If for some reason it is determined that this page should be retained, I suggest that it be renamed to something along the lines of History of the Dylan programming language to better conform to the standard. Thoughts?

I once started the page. I think the history of Dylan is a unique one as so many experts at Apple, CMU and Harlequin work on launching the language.

Your suggestion to rename it to History of the Dylan programming language is accepted. This also means that the page will not merge to "Apple Dylan" or "Dylan (programming language)". Therefore I will move relevant the tags proposing a merge, before I will rename (move) the page.
