Article for FOO, "Function-Oriented with Objects"

Hi, I have specified a software methodology call FOO (Function-Oriented with Objects). The methodology mainly relates to avoiding use of v-tables and the hidden "this" pointer in programming practice. The FOO methodology does allow use of data objects and pure functional interfaces as long as the objects meet the aforementioned criteria. You may learn more at https://www.codepages.net/ and selecting the "Use FOO" menu item. I am happy to discuss and further describe about FOO. An additional important aspect of FOO is performance of software with GPU and I can provide reference information about that also. (My background: I am a degreed and experienced [over 25 yrs] software engineer working for corporations. FOO is important not only for coding reasons, for example see this article about problems with OO https://engineering.purdue.edu/tgrogers/papers/zhang.asplos2021.pdf)

After I had created a first draft of the FOO article and Mujinga and I discussed it, we both agree that, because I am the author of the "FOO" methodology, that if someone is interested in writing the article, that may work better for establishing the article on Wikipedia. The draft of the article is on the my homepage here.

Thank You Gregory McPherran

Seeking help with Fastly Operation section draft

Hello, I'm here as a representative of Fastly, an edge computing and content delivery company. I was wondering if anyone at this WikiProject would be interested in handling an edit request I've put forward that seeks to improve the Fastly article's Operation section. The section as it currently exists is light on good citations. My draft tries to fix that issue and adds some information about how the company's products and services have expanded over the past few years.

If this sounds interesting to anybody, please use this link to view my edit request. If you think the draft can be improved in any way, just leave a message on the Talk page and I'll do my best to accommodate your feedback. Thanks! Jagger at Fastly (talk) 06:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Service-oriented distributed applications

The article Service-oriented distributed applications has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly explained and jargony article that seems like the topic is better covered in other related articles like Service-oriented architecture, but that might be because I don't understand the topic that well.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
