  • 16:0816:08, 2 November 2025 diff hist +298 PseudocodeQuick simple explanation of a concept. Reuses a blanked page. Stop blanking pages, folks. Maybe take a day before creating a page to reflect on whether it's a good idea? current
  • 16:0516:05, 2 November 2025 diff hist −4 m PythonSelf is currently a joke language, not the actual research language. Ironic, given that Self is quite esoteric and the joke language is so facile. current
  • 16:0016:00, 2 November 2025 diff hist +1,574 PythonInfobox proglang; rewrite opening for context, history, clarity, and humor, as well as to remove some untruths and memes; references; grammar. The blockquote is so well-attested in the community that I feel uncomfortable giving it citations, but I've done so, going back to 1993; spend any time in e.g. the Twisted community and it's unavoidable.
  • 15:1515:15, 2 November 2025 diff hist +11 GurlingFix up infobox proglang usage. `refimpl` is for the reference implementation; `majorimpl` is for well-known implementations in case of no/missing/defunct reference. `influenced` is for outgoing influences (when this language is in the past); `influence` is for incoming influences (when this language is in the future). Also, tag as implemented.

  • 20:4220:42, 29 October 2025 diff hist 0 m John Horton ConwayIf y'all really insist on using "was" then I'm going to re-conjugate the auxiliary verbs too. It is so silly to do this for those who are no longer able to do mathematics; confront the actual situation rather than asking existence to vary with spacetime. current
  • 20:4020:40, 29 October 2025 diff hist +10 m Game of LifeFix grammar in first sentence. Parentheses are acceptable but the house style is increasingly to just list off the synonyms without hesitation or reservations. I don't think there will be any question about Conway's association with GoL. current
  • 20:3720:37, 29 October 2025 diff hist −62 m Baba Is YouFix categories; Baba's a CA, actually. There's no encapsulation, but there are cells and updates are done globally by discrete iteration of a fixed ruleset. Also do some grammar and bluelinks.
  • 20:2920:29, 29 October 2025 diff hist +589 Object-oriented paradigm→‎History: Add a paragraph on the liballocs/Smalltix way of doing things. Not adding a link to Vixen yet. current
  • 20:1620:16, 29 October 2025 diff hist +3,080 Object-oriented paradigmRewrite. I should be capitalizing The Network, since it's a particular idealized setup that just happens to line up nicely with actual physical networks, but many folks are hostile towards the reality of The Network, so I won't.
