revert at Esoteric programming language[edit]
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit at Esoteric programming language. In my opinion based on some cursory Google searches, the language Chicken is likely not notable enough for inclusion in the article. Please let me know if you disagree or you find some different citations to independent, reliable sources. Thanks! Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:07, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hey how are you? Thank you for messaging me about the revert! I really appreciate the fact you read what I wrote, thought about it, and then even decided to send me a polite message.
- I hear what you are saying about its lack notability. I did a little research and it seems that it is mentioned a bit as a more famous esolang. Here are some links:

- https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-chicken-programming-language (obviously Quora isn't reliable. I'm just pointing out that it is something that people heard of and are curious about and that there are at least a few respondents who have heard of the language as well).
- https://esolangs.org/wiki/E (To show that chicken is "big" enough to even have languages modeled after it)

- https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-10-weirdest-programming-languages-in-use-in-2022/ (This article calls it a "leading" esolang, whatever that means ;))
- https://www.omnesgroup.com/weirdest-programming/
- In addition I would like to mention that even if chicken is less famous that some of the other languages, it seems to be particularly weird and funny, which is kind of what this page is for I thought: showing the most ridiculous esolangs and a language with the only token being chicken seems to fit that bill perfectly.
- A last point: It appears to me that chicken, while less notable than Brainf... and LOLCODE, seems to be more notable than some of the other languages on the page, such as Golfscript and Binary Lambda Calculus (neither of which appeared in any of the links I sent you, I don't believe).
- I think if you search for "weirdest programming languages" (which is what I did) then you get a decent amount of articles with Chicken being mentioned.
- Once again, thanks for the message and the time!

- Thanks for the additional references. Okay, that seems reasonable, and if you want to re-add with some of these citations, please do! A few of them are definitely usable, others are probably not reliable sources, hard to tell which so maybe just include several. Avoid using wiki- or blog-like references (e.g. esolangs and quora), the more news-like ones are higher quality. As to Golfscript and Binary Lambda Calculus, I would say those are both notable though less heard-of. Caleb Stanford (talk) 07:09, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
