Creation of a Programming Language → Programming language design and implementation – Current title is suboptimal for several reasons. Proposed title is descriprive of what the article seems to be trying to achieve, and could fit pretty nicely as an elaboration of Programming_language#Design_and_implementation. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 21:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support. The proposed title is a better description of the topic. Wikipedia articles are not "how-to" documents, which the current title and some of the current content imply.

• Support. Much more appropriate title. Need to avoid 'how-to'. Murray Langton (talk) 07:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
• Support. I also agree, this title is much more appropriate than the one I chose.

Design Principles

Over the next week or so I intend adding quite a lot to the 'Design' section. Much of this will be quotes from experts. Murray Langton (talk) 11:08, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
