Line 12:
: My general position has been to leave the distinction to the language community. To a C++ programmer, all BASIC implementations might look alike, but to people with production code in QuickBasic, that's a nonsensical position. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:44, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
:: I tend to agree, it will be very specific to the language and community. Guidance and suggestions are probably welcome and this would be a good anchor page, but I would not want to weigh in on any of the languages mentioned above. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 14:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
::: One man's dialect is another's version. To a beginner reading these pages, it gets confusing enough to have to know ''a priori'' what the differences/defaults/nuances are and what can or can't be used in their version/release/sub-release/dialect/whatever.
: I'm going to read into the proposal that navigation is really the issue and not pure numbers. If we worry about pure numbers, we have about 600 tasks and 450 languages which results in a pretty big matrix. Not that we will ever see that as other than a sparse-ish matrix. When that happens we will need to solve that problem. Until then I have to fall back onto YAGNI. I suggest we put some practical examples and suggestions/ideas here. Then when a community starts to have a problem they have a place to come for ideas. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 15:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
