:::::: I assume most visitors to this task page have noticed that there are no "BASIC" (interpretive) programming languages entered &nbsp; This task (I think) shouldn't be about writing a very robust &nbsp; '''isPrime''' &nbsp; function (if a language doesn't have one), &nbsp; but about (I assume) generating Pierpont primes. &nbsp; Finding the 250<sup>th</sup> Pierpont prime (for each type), &nbsp; is just a bridge too far. &nbsp; So far, &nbsp; at the time of this posting, &nbsp; there are nine computer programming languages that accomplish the task's 4<sup>th</sup> requirement, &nbsp; and I doubt there will be that many more &nbsp; (perhaps there will be others entered when this draft task gets promoted &nbsp; --- I've noticed that there's a surge of additional entries/solutions when a task gets promoted). &nbsp; If the goal is to have as many computer programming languages entered for this task (for comparisons and learning), &nbsp; this isn't the way to encourage that. &nbsp; The Rosetta Code task &nbsp; [https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sequence_of_primorial_primes <u>sequence of primorial primes</u>] &nbsp; has a similar problem, &nbsp; but it does have more solutions/entries, however. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
