From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is not a programming term, nor is it in use outside the field of programming. It seems to be an appeal to the vanity of Kevin Altis, who used the term in an article. This page has been sitting in Wikipedia for some time, being indexed by Google, which accounts for a large portion of its ~1300 Google hits. --Yath 18:38, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete: First, it should be Agile (programming language), rather than a programming language called Agile. Second, since this article only covers its use with Python, we could make this a redirect and merge to Python (programming language). However, since it seems that this is a very unusual/uncommon term, this is the presentation of nearly first hand research and neologism. Geogre 19:15, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • I presume this is intended to relate somehow to Agile software development. No vote for now; if someone can make the connection clearer, I may be inclined to keep. -- Jmabel 06:50, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
    • There doesn't seem to be any relationship. Agile programming language was coined as a category in which to put Python, while Agile software development is a methodology. The proponents of Agile software development have not tied their ideology to any particular language. --Yath 08:15, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • But we could say that some langauges are more equal than others wrt agile software development relatively safely... I think. Kim Bruning 11:01, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
        • The trouble is, no one has proposed that this classification (Agile programming language) is related to this methodology (Agile software development). On both websites linked from the article, there is no mention of agile software development. To relate them here on Wikipedia would amount to original research. As far as I can tell, the article is just Python advocacy (read the comments here [1] for more argumentation in this vein). --Yath 20:53, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism found in a single article on a single weblog. — Gwalla | Talk 01:58, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep (or merge with/redirect to Agile software development), we have Agile software development, and an agile programming language is a language that is suited to doing that. We've got python, perl, ruby, ocaml, java and smalltalk that qualify I suppose (though some folks might disagree :-P ). If we can't keep, then at least redirect or merge.
