I made this bot so that users who want to provide a quick summary of the wikipedia article they linked to in their comment can do so just by including a mention of the bot in their comment, and the bot will reply to the comment with the summary.
Currently multiple wikipedia links are not supported.
Maybe this won't work since I'm on kbin.run?
Seems like the way you attempted to mention the bot is wrong. Try @wikibot@lemmy.world
No thanks. Lemmy doesn’t need any more bot spam in the comments.
There’s an option in your user settings to hide bots

Rust? eww 😷. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)

I heard there’s an improved version around, I think they call it JavaScript? Its name is longer so it stands to reason that it should be much better!

So I know thats a joke but...
With Java 11's inclusion of 'var' I have successfully copied JavaScript code into Java without needing to change anything.
I judge the direction Java is going in

No sorry, I don’t know Java so I can’t easily contribute. There are so many people like me!!! We should write it in python so we can reach a wider audience of contributors. From 13 year olds, career and hobby devs, and academia!

Let’s rewrite whole Debian Operating system in Python. I mean everything from Kernel, drivers etc all the way to user apps like browser, games, multimedia player etc.

That’s called Piefed. Golang and Ruby are still missing though. Maybe even an implementation in C.

you meant ‘they should rewrite it in python’ right?
