Maybe a good generic name would be "software development & programming"

WEll, the software forum should change to :
"Games and apps"

I like your title for the programming forum. I'd actually spend LOTS of time there.

I should point out htat there are programming forums though. like www.experts-exchange.com

I think we all realize that. There are tons of other hardware, off topic, etc. forums too.

I say go for it. If the forum ends up not getting used, well then at least it had its chance.

while ( ! doesForumExist ("Programming") )
{
sendEmail ("editor@anandtech.com", "Gimmie a programming forum!");
}

Good call jediknight

while not doesForumExist("Programming") do
begin
sendEmail('editor@anandtech.com', 'Gimme a programming forum!', '...please');
end;


C'mon, everyone add another language!

I think applications, games, and programming should all be broken up into seperate forums. gaming would obviously be so much more popular and all those hard core gamers have a place where they can lurk in. programming can be reserved to those who are serious and need help with some coding. and applications can handle all those office apps, sound music creation, productivity, etc.

I think that it just needs a really snazzy title to be accepted. Like "Fellow Architects of the Matrix", or something like that.

What he said.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I support this too.

This would be a great idea. I always end up leaving when i have a programming question because my questions get lost in software, which half of the other programmers dont read because it's too much of a hassle. Same reason i don't spend most of my time there.

 

[LeetViet]

I concur.

Hey. New langagues. Or was jediknight's in C? And I think we should award points for syntactical compactness.
