=Why?=
Why is this called "Solutions by Programming Language" when there's a list of programming *paradigms* but not a single listed *language*? Shouldn't this be "Solutions by Programming Paradigm" instead?
:It's not just paradigms here. There are all kinds of language features. It's solutions by language because the languages are divided by those features. Maybe it should be solutions by language feature or something. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 02:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
:: Except that it's sorting ''languages'' by language feature, rather than solutions. A "Solutions by language feature" would require marking features-used on a per-example basis. That'd be an awesome piece of data to have available for category, search and comparison, but not particularly likely to be well-maintained. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
: It's the way it is because that was the original category name for browsing by language, the category grew too large, and then organization was applied (first with some hand organization, then automated by language features, which we'd just started cataloging). Since it's still the original category name, the URL is over three years old; there are a lot of links to the page. Take a look at [[:Category:Programming Languages]] to see what happens when no organization is applied to it. All that said, the category page body could use a ''lot'' of cleaning up. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

:Addendum: I also notice LISP vs Common Lisp vs Scheme.[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 18:49, 1 February 2007 (EST)
::[[Common Lisp]] and [[Scheme]] are certainly different. Maybe [[LISP]] is for solutions common to either? or for the ancient Lisp dialects? Good question. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 17:43, 16 November 2007 (MST)
