• Delete: I've been babysitting this article for three years. Unfortunately, it hasn't improved in that time. I agree that the topic is not notable and that lacks sources other than the language author's website. More concerning, the principal contributor to this article appears to be the language author himself. The previous AfD failed due to lack of consensus. The only editor defending it was—you guessed it—the author of the language and this article. His reasoning was that if this article is deleted from Wikipedia, it will drastically reduce the traffic to his website. Sorry folks but that's not a reason to keep an article.
  Furthermore, the lede of the article states that it's an experimental programming language, meaning that it has limited utility to anyone other than the author and maybe some compiler or language enthusiasts. Something I create in my garage isn't notable until people start noting it, and this should be no different. — voidxor 00:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: I can't find any sourcing improvements that would establish the subject's notability. HyperAccelerated (talk) 15:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
