New language posts have to stop. There are tons of other CS topics to talk about but instead LIPSs ()()()()((((())))) and random langs taka the spotlight on HN.
Well we'll always need language designers and compiler developers, and new ones have got to learn somehow. Creating a toy language seems like a pretty decent way to go about it.
I upvote any new language post I see because I find them very interesting and want more of them. The nice thing about HN is you can just scroll past posts you don't find interesting. The "tons of other CS topics" are also discussed on HN.
