No c or c++ example! That is insane! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.165.114 (talk) 20:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning the almost-unknown and almost proprietary ABAP language here (the Comparison of ABAP and Java article says ABAP is used mostly inside SAP) is almost like advertisement. I think there are many other object oriented programming languages which could deserve such an honor. I'm thus removing that link from the table. --Blaisorblade (talk) 01:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Though the article is right that ABAP is a proprietary language by SAP AG the comparison between ABAP and Java is legitimate and by no means advertising. Both languages play a major role in development of mid- to large-sized enterprise applications (with ABAP being the older language). SAP products have a large market share in the enterprise software field world-wide. Thus chances are high that as a developer you need to deal with them in one way or the other. Either because you need to deal with legacy R/3 applications or because you need to develop new software based on SAP technology. The comparison to Java is even more valid as the SAP community is slowly moving from old ABAP to newer J2EE (Java) based solutions. But because this is a slow process (very slow in deed) and because both languages are still being improved as a project manager or software developer you are often left alone with the decission to go with either one. As of today both methods are equaly valid for new SAP projects with no other language to choose from. Dennis Schulmeister (talk) 19:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that almost every Wikipedia article on computing ignores the forst 50 years or so of programming? Where are full comparisons of traditional languages like

I think including applications and systems in this template is confusing and will lead to disorganization. I propose removing the "Database RDBMS" entry as off-topic. Jojalozzo 14:23, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I removed some of them from category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.70.197.164 (talk) 23:52, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This template is about "criteria" for comparison. So I suggest to change the title of this template to "Template:Criteria of comparison for programming languages" Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 10:13, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Evil IP address, Jarble, and Dreftymac: I really think that "existing" template title is ambiguous. Can I change it to "Template:Criteria of comparison of programming languages" or "Template:Factors of comparison of programming languages"? Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 04:57, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hooman Mallahzadeh: The old title wasn't ambiguous, but the new title is still OK. I preferred the old title, since it was more concise. Jarble (talk) 16:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The request to rename this article to Template:Comparison of programming languages has been carried out. If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{ subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end |…}} tag.

• Support per nomination. Old title was perfectly accurate, I don't really understand the claim above that the longer title is more precise. SnowFire (talk) 17:42, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
