[edit] COIL programming language

A trivial programming language created in December 2005 and posted here by its author (so it's not a copyvio, as originally tagged). No notability whatsoever; anyone who knows how to use lex and yacc can build a much more usable one in an afternoon. —Cryptic (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, no external use indicated (and quite unlikely to happen, from what I see). Pavel Vozenilek 23:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Don't Delete, there are other languages that are unused, even articles on joke languages that aren't real, why is this one considered for deletion? why is it a vanity article? why does it have to be in use? Farhnware 17:32, 2 January 2005

• That's the "some cruft justifies all cruft" argument, though, isn't it? There's nothing stopping you nominating the other unused languages in the interests of freedom, justice and the American Way, if that's an issue for you. As to why it's vanity, that is an inference drawn form the similarity between the name of the software author (Farhner) and your username (Farhnware). It is quite elementary, Watson! - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:47, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
