User talk:Rdm: Difference between revisions

::: I'll note that the [[Perl 6]] examples tend to have descriptions on the task page with their examples. Not sure I really like a lack of in-page presence (such as simply being on the page, or being transcluded from another page, or being retrieved and displayed via a little JavaScript magic), but I'm sure something will be ultimately worked out. As long as it's around, somewhere, and links are better than nothing. :) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:44, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

:::: Sure, and J will also have descriptions on the page itself. The talk page writeups have typically been for either (a) detailed descriptions of issues which I hope would be obvious to someone that can read J and that has a copy handy for testing against, and/or sometimes (b) algorithmic concepts which are not at all J specific (issues which are almost worthy of inclusion in the task description). Mostly, though, I use the talk page for added-depth coverage of issues which require a lot of words and which are nothing like the treatment of the task by other languages. And, ok, quite possibly sometimes of the writeup text could be migrated to the task page -- if you see examples of that, I think you should feel free to copy the text over yourself or (if your comfort level is not that high) to call out the issue on the talk page. But my overall feeling is that a lot of those writeups are outside the scope of the task page. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 16:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
