Enhancement of Q[edit]

I'm confused by the last sentence:

One enhancement in Q is it provides access to database dictionaries and tables in a manner similar to APL's arrays.

Saying "One enhancement" would seem to imply an improvement over K, but what follows is something that has always been part of K. A B Carter (talk) 02:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming this article[edit]

I think this article should be renamed to Q (programming languate) or Q (language) or Q (computing). The current name is too long. 80.246.136.97 (talk) 15:04, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should the notability notice be removed?[edit]

In this article 2 books about Q are mentioned, the first one of them, Q for Mortals is a published work, book-length, written by an independent party (see http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Jeffry-Borror/622641) which seems to support the argument for notability (the second book I don't know if it meets the criteria or not, I didn't look into it)

I saw that the Amazon Best Sellers Rank for Q for mortals is #1,049,156 and for IBM: Colossus in transition it is #3,660,303 (the IBM book is given as an example in the "notability" page). There aren't specific thresholds defined for Sales rank but I think it demonstrates a certain level of public interest in the topic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecrz (talk • contribs) 03:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
