Talk:Interactive programming (repl)
Did I see some sort of "omit" template a while ago for tasks that are impossible in some languages? How do you use that? This task can't be done in a couple languages I know of. --Mwn3d 18:39, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Do you intend to add the omit tag to all tasks that cannot be done in all languages?
- Languages can be grouped together just as tasks can. This is a task to be done by those languages that have a CLI to show how to start the CLI in that language. --Paddy3118 05:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
I fail to see what concatenation of strings has to do with an interpreter and the latter with the language in which the task is to be implemented. I see a solution, but what was the task? --Dmitry-kazakov 19:03, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Just starting up a CLI doesn't show enough. I added what I thought would be a simple and achievable 'sub-task' so people would get some comparison of what working in the CLI of each language is like. (Which is hard to do as the feel of a CLI can depend a lot on the editing facilities that it supports). --Paddy3118 05:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Interactive execution does not imply the system is an interpreter. I propose that this task be renamed to "REPL". --Kevin Reid 23:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Interactive execution is most commonly supported by an interpreter and does not mislead. REPL is a less familiar acronym (for acronyms sake)? --Paddy3118 05:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
