Article is crap! Nobody has ever proponed scalar programming. Rather it might be a rhetorical construction to propone Array programming. The article claims there's an idea behind Scalar programming, which there isn't. Scalar programming should be defined to be "not array programming". Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 18:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I vaguely remember hearing about "scalar programming" but not in this context; I think it was referring to single-processor programming. I agree that it's usage as a foil to "array programming" is bogus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.194.150.44 (talk) 18:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The way this article was written, seems to be only with the intention of defining "array programming" by contrast. No real concept supports it. The most similar definition about scalar programming I could find was Scalar_(computing), which may have some common points with what was describe here. But before comparing Scalar Programming with tricks such "array programming", it seems to make much more sense to compare it with accepted standards like SQL. A variable declared in a query for example, does not represent a scalar value. —Preceding fguigou comment added by 80.218.239.115 (fguigou) 11:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
