[edit] Kogut

Article was orriginaly proposed for deletion (prod) with reason: "Unverifiable programming language that also seems to fail WP:SOFTWARE;". I object to prod as unverifiabiliti is not an issue. There is plenty of sources. Programming language is apparently work of a student of Institute of Informatics, Warsaw University Mr. Kowalczyk. He also wrote paper [1] about this language. On the other hand I checked database of ACM and it contains no mentions about the subject. Kogut is an experimental language. I am not sure whether it does not fail under no primary research policy.

• Strong keep In Mar 2005 alone it was downloaded from sourceforge 8,311 times [2], thus exceeding the 5,000 user threshold of WP:SOFTWARE Ruby 22:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • You cited a downloads graph that everyone needs to see. --Perfecto 22:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't think that 8,000 times alone is within WP:SOFTWARE, because that's about a core membership of 5,000 people for a mailinglist and 8,000 downloads is very small. Also the language is very much in development and not even at version 1.0 yet. It first needs to establish itself as a viable language and it appears to be still at the development stage.

• Weak keep I only know this language because it's author posts on news:comp.lang.lisp, but still...  Grue  16:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless actual use by someone else is shown. The downloads are not very reliable measure - I throw away 95% of what I download. Mail-list looks like better indicator: 1 message during several last months. Otherwise Mr. Kowalczyk is very active member of several newsgroups like comp.lang.functional: that how I heard about the language. (I downloaded it, took a brief look and decided it is not for me.)
