Review commentary

Not enough citations. Ideogram 08:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

There are two many external links too, which should maybe be put in a separate article. -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 08:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Criterion 2a is not met. Examples:
  • "compilers by compiling"
  • "Note that, although there's an explicit ..."—Please don't tell our readers what and what not to note.
  • "$20M"—New Zealand dollars? Which court gave the order?
  • "success at that goal"—"at"?
  • Some commas would make for easier reading.
  • "Although it is indeed possible"—Avoid "indeed" in this register.
  • "the burden of having to perform manual memory management"—Remove the three redundant words.

And much more. Please clean up the whole article. Tony 08:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

FARC commentary

Main FA criteria concerns are citations (2c) and quality of writing (2a). Marskell 16:47, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

• Remove three weeks, negligible edits, no change in citations and prose, no indication anyone is working on it. Sandy 03:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Remove. Someone's had a poke around it, but none of the substantial problems has been addressed in all of this time. I notice a prominent "The above example merits a bit of explanation." Tony 02:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• Remove. This fails the criteria in 3 especially. I don't believe an article with large bullet point sections is in keeping with the style manual and the bullets are deployed even where not necessary (such as the criticism section). Shortish LEAD, lack of citations, and something of a link farm at the end. Marskell 12:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
