CodeSimian programming language
Non-notable programming language. 109 Google hits, and only 10 of them are considered different enough by Google; two of these are from Wikipedia. cesarb 15:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

While CodeSimian is new, it is an actual programming-language, and only a few thousand programming-languages exist while maybe a million softwares exist. CodeSimian is freeware (GPL) which makes it public information. BenRayfield
 * Public domain is different from Freeware in any dictionary. --Perfecto 03:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Plug: Please come help develop the inclusion guideline Notability (software) for articles such as this. --Perfecto 03:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * True, CodeSimian is not as popular as those rules require for software, but a programming-language is not just any kind of software. Its what is used to build software, and should be given more leniency. BenRayfield


 * Delete until such time as there are articles in Linux Journal or Dr. Dobbs about programming in CodeSimian. Haikupoet 06:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Haikupoet. RasputinAXP  talk contribs 16:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Definitely non-notable.  Also, "only a few thousand prog languages" is untrue; in the 1970s, languages were as plenty as programs.  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-03 13:29Z 
 * Delete. Anyone can write a programming language and put it under the GPL.  A Turing-complete programming language can be written in under 15 lines of code &mdash; and with better syntax than this language's poor imitation of Lisp.  I see no reason to give leniency. --Mgreenbe 18:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
