===Description===

<!-- Things to include in your description:

Identify the subject:  
  Link to several major articles or lists within the scope of the proposed project.

Show the subject is big enough:
  Link to categories within the scope of the proposed project.  (See [[Wikipedia:Link#Links_to_Wikipedia.27s_categories|How to link to a category]].)  Successful WikiProjects usually have thousands or tens of thousands of articles within their scope.  If there are fewer than 100 articles within the scope, then a separate WikiProject is inappropriate.  Try joining a bigger, existing group. 

Show that you are aware of related projects:
  List the names of any related existing WikiProjects.  (Most will be mentioned on the talk pages of your major articles.)  Please notify them of your proposal, and explain why you want to start a separate group rather than working with them.  -->

'''List of important pages for this proposed group'''
<!-- Replace "Example" with the exact name of any page -->
* {{lt|Programming languages}}
* {{lp|Computer programming}}
* {{la|Computer programming}}
* {{la|Programming language}}
* {{la|Debugging}}

'''List of important categories for this proposed group'''
<!-- Replace "Category name" with the exact name of any category.  For example, to link "Category:WikiProjects", just type "WikiProjects" in place of "Category name" -->
* {{lc|Computer programming}} (number of pages in the category: 154)  
* {{lc|Programming languages}} (number of pages in the category: 138)

;List of WikiProjects currently on the [[WP:TALK|talk pages]] of those articles
:<small>Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal.  See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory]] to find similar WikiProjects.</small>
* {{lw|WikiProject Computing}} 
* {{lw|WikiProject Computer science}}
* {{lw|WikiProject Technology}}
* {{lw|WikiProject Systems}}
* {{lw|WikiProject Software}}
* {{lw|WikiProject Cryptography}}
* {{lw|WikiProject C/C++}}
* {{lw|WikiProject Java}}

;Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
:I want to create a seperate [[Project:WikiProject|WikiProject]] because I believe that this topic, [[Portal:Computer programming|Computer Programming]] deserves its own seperate [[Project:WikiProject|WikiProject]]. On the other hand, I might just start a task force.

===Support===
<small>Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.</small>

===Questions===
Why is too big and too general a problem? Most of these existing projects are pretty quiet. There doesn't seem to be a risk of computer programming initiatives getting buried in the noise if you bring them. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 13:16, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
::Oh, I'll just start a task force then. -[[User:RH9|RH9]] 21:51, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Having recently revived a project that, despite the revival, may be too narrow in scope to maintain, I advise proposing a task force to one of the related projects. [[User:Philoserf|—¿philoserf?]] ([[User talk:Philoserf|talk]]) 21:35, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
::It is now a [[Project:WikiProject Computing/Computer Programming task force|task force]] of [[Project:WikiProject Computing|WikiProject Computing]] -[[User:RH9|RH9]] 00:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
