Talk:Golo (programming language)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it describes the actual history of the language.

Was the page about Java promotional because Sun Microsystems is mentioned? --82.216.8.192 (talk) 20:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I wonder when Research projects, conducted by some university researcher, started to be considered as promotional... Golo was started as a Proof of Concept around the JVM InvokeDynamic instruction, to show how it can be leveraged to build a brand new language on top of the JVM. By all means, it's a test bed for experimentation and serves mainly for educational purposes.

As stated on the Golo web site : "Golo is being developed as part of the research activities of the Dynamid group of the CITI Laboratory at INSA-Lyon. ". FTR, INSA Lyon is more or less the equivalent of Mach university when it comes to computer science.

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because every sentence reflects verified facts about that programming language. There are no judgements or biased criticism AFAICT. All parties involved are academics and I will provide evidence of publication to give more details about it. Please indicate what to change (like maybe mentioning the JVM without mentioning Oracle?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franckverrot (talk • contribs) 20:48, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it features results of peer-reviewed research, and a project transferred to a reputed opensource foundation.

BTW I am the creator of Golo, and an author of the mentioned publications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julien.ponge (talk • contribs) 21:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
