remove (Comparison by language)

Template would be improved if "(Comparison by language)" was removed - it isn't of primary relevance to most target articles. I will WP:BOLD and move it to the table body, but feel free to discuss. Caleb Stanford (talk) 05:17, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I put all the comparisons and lists in one place, as that seems better than sticking them into table headers. But, there is definitely overlap with Template:Programming languages, this also links to comparisons and lists. TBH I am not sure they are relevant to this template, a list/comparison of programming languages, even annotated, is not directly related to programming paradigms. To recap from programming paradigm: "A programming paradigm is a relatively high-level way to conceptualize and structure the implementation of a computer program. A programming language can be classified as supporting one or many paradigms." When we are talking about programming paradigms, we have already moved on from specific languages.

It looks much better now! Thanks for the edits. Agreed it could possibly be omitted entirely. Caleb Stanford (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
