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 just want to say that this task is un-implementable in some languages (Java, C , C++). I thought I had seen a template that marked it as such for the unimpl bot. --Mwn3d 05:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- My apologies Mwn3d, I thought you were wanting to delete the page altogether. --Paddy3118 06:19, 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)
- Please expand the acronym before renaming the page. (Thinking of which...The vast majority of the editors on RC right now are folks I'd trust with more privileges than the current default for logged-in users. I should probably create an "extended privileges" group that users can nominate and second each other for, and redefine the "Bureacrats" group back to its original purpose: Assigning user rights.) --Short Circuit 06:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Please DO NOT change the name of the page. REPL, even as its expansion is change for changes sake. --Paddy3118 07:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
