:: Since you're here: 1) what was so offensive about the Axe for loop, or rather where on earth is your first new point coming from at all? 2) Why delete Delphi completely and just the code from Dragon? 3) What suddenly changed to make that [Delphi] ''ten year old'' example completely unacceptable? There is a reason why this site has draft tasks, and you should be very cautious (and probably discuss things first) before altering a task that was reviewed and promoted to full task status a decade ago. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 12:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
:::One of this site's unwritten rules (or at least I thought it was) is that you don't alter the descriptions of tasks which already have solutions ''without prior discussion'' and then set about removing implementations that don't fit.
:::Moreover, languages which don't support the feature in question are generally allowed some latitude to show how they would do it instead. This is much more informative than just omitting the language from the task altogether.
:::Without this rule, you could probably justify deleting half the examples on the site as not satisfying the task description in some form or another.
:::Frankly, I was amazed that the admins let the changes stand! --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 13:12, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
