Talk:Other Compilers

I'm making this into articles in Category:Compilers --Stinkfly 04:10, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Stop Please discuss before passing through a complete reorganisation. This is IMHO not necessary yet, please work on the pages for review status first. - Combuster 07:55, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Sorry, won't do it agian! --Stinkfly 08:12, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

This seems to me to be an echo of the other languages part of Languages. I don't believe they should be merged, but is there some way we can reduce the amount of duplicate content? Yayyak 19:27, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

What about keeping the list of viable compilers and move (merge) the rest to languages? - Combuster 15:08, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Proposal to rename & slightly repurpose

I propose renaming this page to "List of Compilers" and including a very brief summary of every compiler. Other lists could be added on the page so we keep the present content as Summaries and add terser lists for language, target architecture, host architecture, and perhaps license. My goal is to make a quick-reference to save time and effort when choosing a compiler. This would ease maintenance a little because we wouldn't be trying to exclude things in the compilers category. I see it presently includes some compilers which have their own page and are or should be in the category. Another compiler (LCC) which is in the category but not this page has a one-line page more suitable for this list. Regarding "very brief", my own 6-sentence summary of "kencc" is perhaps a longer than desirable. I'll make a page for it at some point. Eekee 05:14, 23 June 2020 (CDT)
