Creation of a Programming Language → Programming language design and implementation – Current title is suboptimal for several reasons. Proposed title is descriprive of what the article seems to be trying to achieve, and could fit pretty nicely as an elaboration of Programming_language#Design_and_implementation. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 21:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Support. The proposed title is a better description of the topic. Wikipedia articles are not "how-to" documents, which the current title and some of the current content imply.

- Support. Much more appropriate title. Need to avoid 'how-to'. Murray Langton (talk) 07:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Support. I also agree, this title is much more appropriate than the one I chose.

Design Principles
Over the next week or so I intend adding quite a lot to the 'Design' section. Much of this will be quotes from experts. Murray Langton (talk) 11:08, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Merge proposal
I propose merging programming language implementation into programming language design and implementation. I think the content in "programming language implementation" can easily be explained in the context of "programming language design and implementation", and merging them would not cause any article-size or weighting problems. Once this article grows, I have no objection to WP:SPLIT it back into those two articles, or splitting into something like "ahead-of-time compiler implementation", "JIT compiler implementation", and "interpreter implementation" -- but I suspect that some other way of splitting up the article will be obvious from the subsections of this article once it grows that big.

- Merge - It should be a subsection of design and implementation. It seems unnecessary having two articles when design and implementation should cover all content in implementation. PeriodicEditor (talk) 05:38, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
