It is a commendable initiative, but its credibility must be maintained by applying the policies scrupulously.

It's a pity that pages cannot be created in other languages, given that anti-consumer practices also occur outside the English-speaking world.


The main issue is the fact that the wiki just does not have enough resources to support having more than just the English language. It would be nice to support having more languages and thus covering more anti-consumer incidents in non-English parts of the world.

I discovered Prolog in my youth, and logic has been something of an addiction ever since - not always, I suspect, a particularly useful one.

Lately, though, I have found what may be an antidote in Emacs, Lisp, and functional programming.

Then again, perhaps I have merely traded one elegant addiction for another.


Try Haskell.


The problem is: Haskell is a really, really difficult language. Prolog was much simpler.

Python on the other hand is a pretty simple language. We have different trade-offs here.
