:: I wasn't sure whether the problem was the extra digit or the comma but I knew you'd soon sort it out :) As you say, there are probably not many languages which can identify a string of digits with thousand separators as being numeric without further ado. Kotlin certainly can't. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 18:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

If someone with god-like powers would make an executive decision to use one over the other, I suppose someone would write a script to change all the uses of one computer programming language into the other, or I could special case this specific example &nbsp; (for the REXX programming entry) &nbsp; into just simply combining those two programming entries into one, &nbsp; much like the way it currently handles different spellings of a small number of computer programming languages that are spelled differently, or use different glyphs the express the small programming language. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:57, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
This decision would be similar of using &nbsp; '''PL/I''' &nbsp; andinstead of &nbsp; '''PL/1'''; &nbsp; Each computer programming entry for &nbsp; '''PL/1''' &nbsp; was changed "by hand" to &nbsp; '''PL/I'''. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:29, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 
I prefer the global script change method &nbsp; (or by hand), &nbsp; as this will help consolidate the computer programming language name and would have less confusion to those that think that the two programming languages are distinct entities. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
