=== Unnecessary output ===
The <del>Go</del>/<del>Perl</del>/RAKU/<del>Wren</del> examples add "\n'Tis very tomish, don't you think?\n\n" to the task, whereas AppleScript/(+Go)/Julia/(+Perl)/Phix/REXX/(+Wren) do not. The extra text/blank lines make it much more difficult to compare the outputs, while adding nothing, and should be removed --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 11:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree. The "extra" line specifically exercises and demonstrates the "Extra kudos for not including adjoining punctuation during "Overkill" redaction." task guideline, which isn't part of the base task but an "above and beyond" goal. There is a pretty long history of task implementers including some minor extra testing to demonstrate their implemetations capabilities. If it offends you so much, perhaps you should have some harsh words for the [[Brazilian_numbers#Phix|author]] [[Esthetic_numbers#Phix|of]] [[First_perfect_square_in_base_N_with_N_unique_digits#Phix|these]] [[Pierpont_primes#Phix|task]] [[Sequence:_nth_number_with_exactly_n_divisors#Phix|implementations]] [[Sequence:_smallest_number_with_exactly_n_divisors#advanced|that]] [[Sequence:_smallest_number_with_exactly_n_divisors#insane|all]] [[Weird_numbers#Phix|supply]] [[Pell's_equation#Phix|more]] [[Nimber_arithmetic#Phix|than]] [[Palindrome_dates#Phix|strictly]] [[Extensible_prime_generator#Phix|required]]. Note: I am not advocating that they be modified, just pointing out the cognitive dissonance that it is ok for some tasks, but not for others. Removed text restored. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 21:40, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
