Talk:Write-only language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a few problems with this article, but wanted to talk here before I sent to VfD.

Far from being a disadvantage, this tends to avoid the kluge one often gets with modified code.

Any language that makes it easier to re-write than maintain has no advantage.

APL, J and sometimes Perl 5 are common examples.

I don't know J or APL, but I know Perl, and it is no worse than any of the other languages I have dealt with in this regard, and certainly better than some of the low level languages.

It's important to note though, that one can write write-only code in any language.

Then it isn't a language, it's code, and the article should be Write-only code.
