[edit] Language family

Why is this language in the ML family category? It seems like it belongs in Category:C programming language family, as it resembles C# with closures a lot more than ML. --bmills 16:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

It has some resemblance with C but the most important features are taken from other languages: pattern matching from ML, macros from Lisp, string interpolation from scripting languages, etc. The whole "X programming language family" copncept is nonsense, IMHO.

[edit] Intro copyvio

The introduction to this page appears to be taken from http://nemerle.org/Main_Page. Since this site, despite being hosted on a MediaWiki server, bears no copyright notice, I must assume the material is copyrighted with all rights reserved. Unless someone can prove to me that the copyright owner has given permission to use it under the GFDL (or submitted it themselves), I suggest that we either:

  • Rewrite the intro, or
  • Write a brief intro followed by a properly cited quotation of the current intro.

The license for the nemerle documentation is here: http://nemerle.org/License I'm not sure if BSD-license is compatible with GFDL. I'm the one who wrote it, and have no problems with it being used in wikipedia. --Malekith 15:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello example, not full?

Shouldnt it be necesary for the long Hello World example to actually print, to call the Hello function. That is: need we not add another line calling for the "Hello" function? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pablo2garcia (talk • contribs) 13:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Biased compare

The SQL example that compares with the C# equalevant:

string sql = "SELECT firstname, lastname FROM employee WHERE firstname = :a"; NpgsqlCommand dbcmd = new NpgsqlCommand (sql, dbcon, dbtran); dbcmd.Parameters.Add("a", myparm);

NpgsqlReader reader = dbcmd.ExecuteReader();

while(reader.Read()) {

 string firstname = reader.GetString (0);
 string lastname = reader.GetString (1);
 System.Console.WriteLine ("Name: {0} {1}", firstname, lastname)

} reader.Close(); dbcmd.Dispose();

is extreme biased in favor of Nemerle regarding code size, since the code I show above could be written MUCH MUCH smaller in C# as well.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nemerle Logo.png

Image:Nemerle Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
