I'm sure that some CC users that were programmers have had problems with using the APIs, learning about ComputerCraft's mechanisms and a lot of more things. You don't event have to have any programmer experience to notice that, for example, the official Lua wiki offers much more detailed information than CC's one, every library, every function is precisely described. I even wondered what articles' authors think when they write them:

If function turtle.drop() would drop a single item from a stack, the code to filter a single item (really?) would look like that:
turtle.drop()And the code to drop a whole stack would look like this:
for i = 1, 64 do turtle.drop() endMeanwhile, the drop() function drops a whole stack, so it's one line of code, but the machine that filters one item looks like this:
So, that was just a quick example of one of a plenty of functions with ill-considered solutions. I bet a big corporation such as Microsoft would think twice before creating a core function in their language or API.
In my opinion, the best thing that CC's author would do in next update is nothing else than updating core functions, even if it would crash some of the programs written before. As for the wiki, there should be group assebled that will be its admins and first of all, redactors. What do you think, people?
Urgh, the overall wiki removal isn't bad idea through...
