  A few newsgroups are still reasonably active. I still frequent comp.lang.lisp and comp.lang.ada. Though they now have tons of spam in them so the interesting parts are somewhere in the garbage. I think most groups have moved to other discussion boards/systems as their primary forum now, and newer groups don't try to create a newsgroup. For instance, I doubt there's a comp.lang.elixir or comp.lang.rust. As a discussion system, it's pretty much defunct at this point.

    You don't see very much spam arriving at the Eternal September or AIOE news servers. It's pretty much fine as a discussion forum. Things have been lively in comp.lang.c recently with a little coding exercise going on and such. comp.unix.programmer and comp.unix.shell are active also. comp.theory has been quite active due to a crackpot who insists that he has solved the halting problem, or at least refuted common halting proofs using a nested x86 simulator that detects recursion, haha.
