Language vs Dialect

I think this collection is getting just a little out of hand - should this be sub-categorized somehow? Do we really need Visual Basic and Visual Basic .Net and VB.net (is that just redundant)? In addition to BASIC and FreeBASIC? Does it make sense to have MySQL and PostgreSQL entries? I would bet that MIRC is the same as MIRC scripting language. This whole listing here just looks kinda helter-skelter. Sgeier 18:44, 1 February 2007 (EST)

Addendum: I also notice LISP vs Comon Lisp vs Scheme.Sgeier 18:49, 1 February 2007 (EST)

add SDL

Since this language aready has tasks solved it should be added to the Solutions by Programming Language section!

SDL isn't a programming language, it's a library which makes tasks like GUI development easier. --Short Circuit 23:28, 9 February 2007 (EST)

C plus plus

There's still two different entries here - One for "C plus plus" and one for "C++". Sgeier 00:48, 20 February 2007 (EST)

Bash vs. Shell vs. Unix Shell

Is this list an index or a proscriptive sort of list? Because I just wandered in looking for a reminder how to do some task X in BASH and couldn't find it. Went elsewhere, solved my needed task, then came back to figure out WTF. Searching on 'bash', I found *plenty* of references to BASH, and via them the 'Unix Shell' element on 'Solutions by Programming Language'.

So... if this is a user-friendly index, some entries like 'Bash' and/or a 'Shell' entry that then disambiguates to all the shell scripting languages might be helpful. Heck, just adding plain text under 'B' that said: BASH (see Unix Shell) would have been sensible.

Bash now redirects to Bourne Again SHell. --IanOsgood 17:39, 16 November 2007 (MST)
