Talk:Extend your language
It sounds like the purpose of this task is to add flow-control mechanisms. It should be renamed as such, and the task description should be changed to remove language-specific elements. (Particular capabilities of languages should be demonstrated in their examples, not in the task description.) --Michael Mol 13:41, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Not necessarily just flow-controls. 'if2' is just an easy to explain example. As mentioned in the task, in some languages all programming involves such extensions.
- Then I'm probably misunderstanding. The task seems too specific with language references, but too generic in its title. How can we improve this? (I'd love to see some more folks chime in, too.) --Michael Mol 13:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- "Extend your language" does seem a bit generic for the actually specified task -- especially if you take the view that all definitions of words are language extensions -- and I think a better name would be a good idea. But I do not have any ideas for a better name. --Rdm 18:25, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- "Create a keyword"? --Michael Mol 18:34, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
