When I submitted my Lisp project, it didn't get even a single upvote. Maybe I should've mentioned I wrote it in Lisp to enjoy the grace of this invisible Lisp brigade, but I always felt it's tacky to submit stuff like "X but written in Go/Javascript/whatever!!!" because it basically shows that you're just reinventing the bicycle. The project should stand on its own regardless of the language it's written in.

Randomness more than suffices to explain why it didn't get upvoted. I recommend providing more detail about how it works, to gratify readers' curiosity.
