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.

 * AFAIK string interpolation is a macro. Also all syntax's features resembling C# are implemented through macros too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.122.208.191 (talk) 09:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

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.

Actually, in C#, the 'using' construct would ensure the reader is correctly closed in case of an exception being thrown during the reading. It does not seem to be the case in this Nemerle code.82.230.253.70 (talk) 08:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Then, rewrite C# in better manner. 89.251.107.30 (talk) 13:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

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 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)

Appeared in?
Does anyone know when Nemerle was first released? Nickdc (talk) 13:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Programming paradigm
I think Grammar-oriented programming should be added to paradigms of Nemerle. What do other people think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.207.84.225 (talk) 12:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Why should this article be deleted but this one stay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck ? I suppose THIS language is much more useful then brainfuck. Keep the article.
 * Keep

Code example proposal
Since Nemerle has a lot of features, so it can make an article less readable. For example, speaking only about PM we can give a great number of examples. So my proposal is, having just one main example and others are in collapsed block.
