This post about yet another "new programming language" reaching a milestone consisting of random digits was upvoted so that it reached the front page of your web site, and my pointing that out resulted in my not only being downvoted but revenge-downvoted across several other posts. If you wish to improve your web site's content, a more valuable service toward that end would be to excise the spammers promoting the above nonsense content, and revenge-downvoting across answers, rather than criticising me for pointing out that this emperor is not wearing any clothes.

The spamming of this site by these kinds of projects has gone far enough that it has now been parodied in a television series:

HACKER NEWS!!! Get friends to upvote

One would have to be extremely naive to think that anyone except friends of the authors would upvote a link to a changelog for version 0.17.0 of a "new programming language" on this site.
