The name of this article is definitely leading without context. For a competition that is focused on building a race car simulator, certain languages are going to be a better choice. If the competition was to build a web app, I'm pretty sure that C/C++ would not be high on that list, and Java would be ranked lower.
- mikko-apo 12y agoHi! Unfortunately there's quite a bit of context behind those statistics that doesn't fit in to the title nicely. I suspect that mentioning just HWO or Hello World Open or real time race car AI coding competition is not enough either. Do you have any suggestions on what would be a good title?
- mrinterweb 12y agoThank you for the emphatic greetings. Normally, when I see articles with similar titles, they are articles about general programming trends. I realize that HN does not like link submissions article names to be modified. Since the article is on a website about a race car AI contest, the website does not need to provide context in the article. I'm just saying that if I was skimming through HN articles and saw the article title, I may get the impression that Java is the new old hot again.
