• diffhist Programming language 13:06 −2 Stevebroshar talk contribs (better word)
• diffhist Programming language 13:04 −408 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Element is overly generic; I see language definition and features; and this allows removing the jarring stuff from the into)
• diffhist Programming language 12:50 −21 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Semantics: get to the point)
• diffhist Programming language 12:42 −579 Stevebroshar talk contribs (This whole paragraph is uncited and low-value; in particular: exception handling is covered later; prog lang theory is better handled as see-also (which it already is))
• diffhist Programming language 12:37 −40 Stevebroshar talk contribs (It's not just simplicity; it's about quality! Better software)
• diffhist Programming language 12:33 −277 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Classifications: if scripting is a category then it should be another item; regardless it should be a side-note of imperative)
• diffhist Programming language 12:27 +48 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Classifications: Edit for better organization; stuff and the end was not well integrated)
• diffhist Programming language 12:13 −582 Stevebroshar talk contribs (This section is not so much about the definition of prog lang as it is how that term relates to other terms: natural language, computer language and formal specification langauge) Tag: Visual edit: Switched
• diffhist Programming language 11:54 +400 Stevebroshar talk contribs (It's about _source code_ regardless of whether it's for a program; a compiler/interpreter is not an _implementation_ of a language yet some automated process (i.e. compiler/interpreter) is required to use source code) Tag: Visual edit
• diffhist Programming language 11:31 +22 Stevebroshar talk contribs (it _can_ be described in many (other) ways than syntax and semantics ... a formal lang is another way to describe it or even define it.) Tag: Visual edit
• diffhist Programming language 11:28 +1 Stevebroshar talk contribs (it's for controlling a _computer_; not any ol' machine (yes sometimes we call a computer a machine but that's inaccurate))
• diffhist Programming language 11:27 −18 Stevebroshar talk contribs ('instructions' is overly specific (implies command/imperative); it's about control (however that's conveyed))
• diffhist Programming language 11:25 +28 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Definitions: Reword for accuracy; it's not for communicating with _all_ machines; only computers ... although there are other differences (i.e. syntax) intension is a big difference; prog lang is for _controlling_)

• diffhist IOS 19:57 +16 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Architecture: "Architecture" could refer to the software architecture of iOS; speak of "Supported processors". Also speak of "ARM architectures", plural; with different profiles, and three count 'em three instruction sets (classic ARM/A32, Thumb/Thumb-2/T32, and A64), there's a bunch of 'em.)
• diffhist IOS 19:44 −11 Guy Harris talk contribs (→XNU kernel: Some elements of "Apple's range of mobile devices" run iPadOS or visionOS (it's on your head, so it has to be able to move around) rather than iOS; just speak of working with "devices that run iOS" (avoiding the question of whether, and how, to mention iPod touch devices).)
• diffhist IOS 19:40 −22 Guy Harris talk contribs (→XNU kernel: Modified from *what*? Is the version in macOS considered the ur-version, and all other versions "modified"? And is it "modified", or just "different #ifdefs when compiling and different low-level hardware support"?)
• diffhist IOS 19:35 +41 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Update history and schedule: Don't mention iTunes and Finder/Apple Devices in independent clauses, so as not to give iTunes primacy - on current versions of macOS, you can't use iTunes because it's not available and, with current versions of iTunes for Windows, you can't use iTunes because it doesn't support doing updates, that's done by Apple Devices.)
• diffhist IOS 18:47 +6 Guy Harris talk contribs (Avoid redirect. Link the more-specific "over-the-air", rather than the overly-broad "wireless", in the context of over-he-air updates. (The *real* difference between the update methods is "the phone can do the update by itself" vs. "the phone needs to be attached to a 'mothership' Mac or Windows PC running iTunes or the Finder", but I'm not sure there are simple names or Wikipedia pages for those concepts.))
• diffhist IOS 18:25 +147 Guy Harris talk contribs (→History: Give a more detailed explanation of what is being done for all Apple operating system version numbers.)
