[edit] BasicFunge

No Google whatsoever. Wasn't this deleted once before? - Lucky 6.9 23:34, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable and unverifiable. Soltak 23:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless it's actually demonstrated that it's a serious & notable programming language ... Ben-w 00:12, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If an article is repeatedly re-created by unassociated editors after being deleted, this may be evidence of a need for an article. I'm serious about this language, and I feel it's quite notable; No previous Funge has used scalar variables, nor variables of any type. Ayelis (Original Author) 00:13, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment could you cite sources of where this language is used? Has anyone been writing about it? Is there any uptake of it? It looks like a pet project, rather than a fully-fledged language that survives in the wild. Prove me wrong, I'll change my vote. Ben-w 17:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment It's not used at the moment. At least two people have had the idea, AND have posted such an idea to Wikipedia. This means that somewhere else in the world, there are people like myself who not only realize that such a creature should exist, but also that it should gain attention. It has caught on in individual minds, and been repeatedly stomped out by the users of Wikipedia because the people attempting to present it, like myself, have no clue what Wiki is about, quite obviously. Wikipedia is not a place to share new ideas, but to share old ones. Halfbakery is a place to share new ideas that nobody plans on actually bringing into fruition. I'm imagining sourceforge is a sort of place to bring about programming ideas that people plan to do things with. And perhaps FreshMeat is the place to bring the completed projects to test their 'wilderness survival rating', and gain enough support so that they can gain recognition on Wikipedia. Forgive my impertinence at scrawling a witty footnote in your encyclopedia. I realize only now that one can't change history by editing the history books. Wasn't quite sure what this place was, I guess. Feel free to delete. I've saved the Wiki-delimited source text for future reference. Ayelis (Original Author) 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The language was created just this year, and its primer is hosted on a LiveJournal page. ral315 14:45, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
