Hacker News full of Erlang articles

I do too, but right now a directory of Erlang-related articles is on the front page of HN, along with a niche-interest article about patching Erlang for a future version of OS X.

This was cute the first time, but now it's kind of inane.

This is a one-day thing (or so I would hope), but I hope the overall effect would be to drag HN back towards its roots - as an interesting place for technology discussion in all its forms.

. . . or maybe the effect will be to make people whose level of interest in Erlang is somewhere on this side of sane stop coming to Hacker News, and go back to the programming subreddit.

But ah, I escaped from reddit, that's like checking back into the asylum if I go back...

Look at the front page of Hacker News right now. Tell me that doesn't look at least as insane.

God, I hope this blows over by the time I get back from my RPG session tonight.
