Recently, JetBrains (the company), their ReSharper product, and their JVM language Kotlin were all deleted from the English language Wikipedia.
I can't follow the deletionists' logic. I hope nothing else is going on -- like a competitor trying to remove information about them.
Kotlin's removal in particular is strange, since several other JVM languages persists at Wikipedia, some of them much less well known than Kotlin. Still there are: Gosu, Ceylon, Fantom, Ioke, Seph, Groovy, Boo, Nashorn, Frink, Pizza, Pnuts, X10, Xtend, etc.
Very strange.
- vorg 14y agoThe JetBrains Kotlin webpage http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/Kotlin/Welcome http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/Kotlin/Welcome still shows Kotlin as active. It's certainly better known than any of those other languages you mentioned. In fact, the two greatest innovators on the Groovy language, James Strachan (original creator of Groovy), and Alex Tkachman (original creator of Groovy's static mode), were "encouraged" to move on from Groovy by its present leadership, and are both now contributors to Kotlin.
