Talk:Programming

I think the quote about Java (linked to bash.org) is neither intelligent nor even vaguely correct. Any thoughts on removing it?

The David Heinemeier Hansson quote is awfully similar to a famous quote by Alan Kay. "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

Indirection quote

Isn't the thing about indirection solving all problems in computer science from David Wheeler?

Yes. Fixed, as cited by Lampson himself. NealMcB 06:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

External links

An unregistered user added a link to an unsourced collection of quotes at a page described as "Kevin's Hobby Site." I removed it with the explanation "unsourced collection of anonymous provenance" and was reverted by Xnyl4ev1 without explanation.[1] I am removing it again for the following reason:

• Personal web pages containing unsourced attributions are not appropriate resources for further reading at Wikiquote, and are routinely removed for that reason.

If you disagree with this assessment of the nature of the linked page, please provide evidence and seek consensus on this talk page before re-adding the link into the article. Thanks. ~ Ningauble 14:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the reasons cited above for not having this external source added to the page - and have reverted the change again. As asked above, if there is disagreement about this, it should be discussed here before re-adding the link. ~ UDScott 01:08, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
