User talk:DifferentDance8

Hi! I've reverted your recent commit to lesser known programming languages because it was not cited. That article is describing a specific series of jokes from a 1982 article which has not yet been tracked down; the talk page has some of the archeology. If you have any information about this article or its derivatives then please add it to the talk page. Ideally we would have a citation for every language on that page. Thanks!

Here's the sources for REAGAN / REGAN:

https://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/humor/Unix/new.comp.lang.htm

https://sucs.org/~cmckenna/humour/computer/other.html

These are authentic webpages from the era LKPL was made, not some modern poseur :) --DifferentDance8 (talk) 05:16, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Nice, thanks. At some point, when I don't have other stuff on my plate, I'll fix up lesser known programming languages to incorporate all of these different sources. It seems like the same sort of situation as The Network, where the fallacies come from multiple different authors with different attestations. It's entirely possible to disentangle and present a clean list, but we'd have to do it by figuring out who wrote what when. Corbin (talk) 18:37, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
