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> --CraigBox
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. :) --CraigBox
First off: please get into the habbit of attributing your quips to yourself(, dammit!!). Now to the point: what are you getting at? The pages belonging to a category are linked to from elsewhere like any other page would be. The categories are linked to from all pages belonging to them. Where in that scheme do you see any orphans? Methinks you've confused yourself over how the system works at some point along the way, if I may say so. --AristotlePagaltzis
