Re:Stack Exchange grew from 16M to 32M uniques in 2011 by melling on Monday January 16, 2012 @07:31PM (#3473262)
Here's me trying to convince the Groovy mailing list to use StackOverFlow back in 2008.

Those guys wouldn't buy into it. It seemed liked such an obvious solution to the existing solution. Walking down an email thread then getting to the end with no answer. I think it's especially useful for a new or esoteric technology because it allows new users to come up to speed quicker. Scala, Go, Haskell can be learned in short order.

The one thing that could be improved is to partition answers that become dated. Also, some questions could be asked every 3-5 years. For example, best frameworks, etc. Tech changes fast.
