(simple array (or queues...) are collection according to this task?)
(→‎too much J?: new section)
Line 8:
: Some examples are "marked" but they seems complete, showing various kinds of collection (which is a rather generic term even in computer world); e.g. C++ is the most "complete", to me. D shows something similar, and it is not marked. Java shows lists as collection, and it is not marked (so, it shouldn't be marked C++; at most it should be shortened). Javascript (PHP...) is(are) marked, but it(they) show/s something not so different from Python or Ruby, which are not marked. Similarly for Smalltalk, which anyway shows only an ordered collection (enough to eliminate the Ordered part?)...
: Wanting to add languages like C and Fortran, a simple array or a queue (like FIFO...) seem (sometimes) unable to accomplish the task... Is it so? --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 13:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 
== too much J? ==
 
The J entry currently provides a variety of collection related options which were not required by the task [so, ok, the task was trivially simple in J and maybe more stuff makes this interesting]. Should they be left there because they may be of interest? Should they be removed so that the task requirements are followed more precisely? Or should anything else be done with them (moved to the talk page, turned into distinct tasks, elaborated on, printed on a t-shirt, fed to penguins, ...)? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 02:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
