Result: No improvemnent, so delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A 2007 listing of a still in-use programming language; no surprise that huge amounts of material is unsourced, violating GA criterion 2. I also feel that too much detail is being paid to the syntax of the language, possibly violating criterion 3b). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See above for further issues. No harm in starting the reassessment now. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: can you notify the major contributors, reviewers and initial nominator? Pings may be missed, and I only pinged those with over 5% authorship. Feel free to remove this comment afterwards. Femke (alt) (talk) 14:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Abductive, Comp.arch, Thumperward, and Akeosnhaoe:
Perhaps @Peterl, Gadfium, TJRC, MrOllie, and Peaceray: too. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:36, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Femke (alt), this article annoyingly dates to before the days of nominator/reviewer.~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:33, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not a major contributor to this article, I just ran a couple of bots on it. Abductive (reasoning) 14:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

[edit]

1, Why does the programing language template doesn't use an offical logo of Python, like it did before? Xzkdeng (talk) 08:51, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Batteries included" removed

[edit]

Because in the first reference that was given the term "batteries" doesn't show up anymore, and the second reference is a long-withdrawn PEP. jae (talk) 12:20, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

kotlin

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Python_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=1315974273

@Artem's pages can you add citation for that

the doc dont list python https://kotlinlang.org/docs/faq.html#is-kotlin-hard

Kotlin is inspired by existing languages such as Java, C#, JavaScript, Scala and Groovy. Lokiretro (talk) 01:44, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IT’S A RELAXED VERSION OF JAVA
One of the first things you’ll notice about Kotlin is that it takes influence from Python in that it doesn’t require a semicolon at the end of each line, rather replacing the semicolon with a newline character to signify the end of a line of code. Aside from that, however, it retains a lot of the syntax of Java; you’ll have a remarkably quick transition if you decide to switch over, and will notice a lot of features that’ll reduce the infamous headaches associated with programming in Java.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon#Computing
i think semicolon history is complex topic on programming. i tried to find other source but cant find anything
on kotlin page it mention that scala is also one of the influence for them. scala also does not require semicolons to end statements.
other problem i find is that the source dont list any author
the website is also not found anywhere else on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%22kofi-group%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1
this may not meet the requirement for Wikipedia:Reliable_sources Lokiretro (talk) 21:23, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
after searching edit history of kotlin i found the edit that add python to the list
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kotlin_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=867056280
Update "influenced by" based on talk by language designer A. Breslav titled "Languages which Kotlin borrowed from" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH-RZ9YlxH0). Slides are in English, but there are more details in the talk, which is in Russian
the youtube video have following description
. . . . Расскажем о тех языках, из которых мы заимствовали идеи и концепции, когда разрабатывали Kotlin. В числе прочего, речь пойдет о Java, C#, Scala, Groovy, Python, Gosu и т.д. Покажем, как некоторые из этих идей изменились в нашей интерпретации. И немного расскажем о том, какие известные языки теперь учатся на нашем опыте (Swift, Java, Hack, C#).

We'll talk about the languages ​​from which we borrowed ideas and concepts when developing Kotlin. Among others, we'll discuss Java, C#, Scala, Groovy, Python, Gosu, and others. We'll show how some of these ideas have changed in our interpretation. We'll also share a few insights into which well-known languages ​​are now learning from our experience (Swift, Java, Hack, C#).
this maybe better reference but i dont understand russian Lokiretro (talk) 21:41, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

increasing speed?

[edit]

Typing is not for increasing speed, it is used for IDE's to getting hints. 156.67.189.2 (talk) 12:26, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to saying that in addition to type hint, they've also increased speed in recent versions. That paragraph needs some general rewording/clarifying. Skynxnex (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the speed thing because I think people just always assume that updates increase speed. ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:01, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
