{{U|Crazyblocks}}: I appreciate your attempts to clean up this article, but was it your intention to remove all bold formatting in this article and have the bold markup displayed in the code samples? Please compare your new version with the previous rendered version. It doesn't look right to me. I have reverted your edit for now. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:51, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

{{U|Jonesey95}} The intent was to replace HTML formatting with Wiki formatting, at the time I was not able to see a preview as I have gotten a Time Out error. Thank you User:Crazyblocks 21:54, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

The comments above and some of the article seem to use "instruction" to mean what is normally called a "statement" in the literature on programming languages. But in fact the article covers much more than statements: it also covers expressions, declarations, data types, and even some library functions.

A better title for this article would be something like Comparison of programming language elements or some such. --Macrakis (talk) 20:51, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
