I really don't see how "two critical articles about a particular programming language on consecutive days are flamebait and detrimental to the site" can be squared with the handling of US political and COVID articles over the last two-three years. Programming content should be the bread and butter of the site, and popular language critique is par for the course on any hacker-themed board. And tomorrow we'll have moved on to something else, unlike the other topics I mentioned.
- pvg 4y agotwo critical articles about a particular programming language on consecutive days are flamebait and detrimental to the site I'm not sure who you're quoting here but it's not me. US political and COVID articles These also get moderated quite a bit but it's a little different with ongoing hot topics - many more submissions, angles, etc. One person's take on Go, however interesting, is not an ongoing hot topic. Plus it's had a pretty good life on the site!
