Ask/Rant: Has HN become a programming language forum

2 points by imechura 15y ago ↗ HN

I've been lurking here for quite a while and I am seeing the majority of upvoted posts are related to this language or that language. Is that really what we want this community to be? There are a gazillion online communities for programmers to talk shop but there are very few places that are geared towards startup / entrepreneurship.

To add context, I am a professional software developer.

I enjoy language related subjects as much as I enjoy startup discussions. Unfortunately I don't agree with you (OP) in regards to removing valid technical or language topics in favor of pure startup discussions as both are valuable to me and I'm sure others share the sentiment, hence why they probably why you see a lot of them.
