''There should probably be a ProgrammingParadigm page and one on programming goals (systems programming, application programming, teaching programming, fun with obfuscated languages etc). This is a huge reorganisation I launched into here.. all descriptions should be merged from here into the respective language's page, and the lists should be replaced with category backlinks. Eventually there should be a web of mostly selfmaintaining category pages. --AristotlePagaltzis''
''Or alternatively there could be a programming wiki (like c2.com perhaps? :) and we could go back to Linux.. ;-) </ungrateful_swine>''

+''Sheesh, considering that Linux is based around programmers writing stuff in mostly their free time, I think that this page is very relevant, and interesting too. Aristotle has done a remarkable job cleaning it up so far. -- PerryLorier''

+''As an aside, I'm not sure that pages that are only linked to via their backlinks, work well in a Wiki. Technically they become orphans, and while I see the advantage of having them generated, I think it's worthwhile trying to make sure you end up with every page physically linked from at least one page too. Discussion welcomed, but probably on another page. :)''
