Title

Should the title not be Closure (computer science) (ie brackets) or possibly Closure (computer programming)? Richard Pinch 22:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Done. I think we should probably move all the programming languages to brackets - ie. "Java (programming language)" instead of "Java programming language". When I talk to my programmer friends, I don't say "I was hacking away in Python programming language", I say "I was hacking away in Python". Bracket omission is a big problem in the CZ:Computers Workgroup and I think we need to remedy it. --Tom Morris 22:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
