Having a common structure is a nice thing to aim for, but not all languages have a common structure that can be used (or understood by a novice).   I assume it would be up to a knowledgeable programmer to verify if the program (in lue of any output) would be correct.   Sometimes it isn't good to force a square peg through a round hole. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:26, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 
==Undiscussed deletion (JavaScript) June 5 2016==
 
:I notice that a functional JavaScript example was deleted without discussion on 5 June 2016, and replaced with an imperative example.
:Addition is generally preferable to deletion, particularly where approaches diverge, but more importantly, proposed deletions do need to be motivated and explained here on the discussion page.
:Unless there are objections, I propose to restore the functional version, so that readers of JavaScript are allowed see both approaches, and so that readers of AppleScript are less puzzled by the 'Translation of JavaScript' tag – the link from which was inadvertently broken by this undiscussed deletion.
