This is a terrible overview of PP for someone coming to this for the first time and hoping to learn what PP is about Houseofwealth (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probabilisticism

In philosophy, probabilisticism is the ontological thesis that "statistically, many things are probabilistic" (even the thesis is probabilistic). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.84.219.128 (talk) 10:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 20 June 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: MOVE. ArguMentor (talk) 22:55, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probabilistic programming language → Probabilistic programming – Calling it probabilistic programming would put it more in line with all the other paradigms (e.g. functional programming). ArguMentor (talk) 13:28, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously a slight rephrasing of the article (changing PPLs to PPs) would be required. ArguMentor (talk) 13:29, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No objections after a week, so I'll move it now. ArguMentor (talk) 22:26, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Uninformative list

The list of PPLs seems to me to violate the "Wikipedia is not a directory" (WP:Directory) criteria. Even if someone wants to keep it, I guess it should be removed to a separate page where it's not so tediously exhaustively. I definitely disagree that it's "incomplete" as the page says now.

I dropped the "incomplete" message, and added an "overly detailed" message. Sanpitch (talk) 21:48, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is still an issue in 2024. Many of these PPLs are not actively maintained and seem to have never had much of a user base. Should consider removing the list or trimming it down significantly. 216.250.210.180 (talk) 18:56, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I shortened the list to focus on PPLs that are actively maintained or historically important. Others may want to reduce it further. Grayson642 (talk) 17:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
