/r/lisp is the only section I read and it's devoid of stupid jokes and multipage puns.
/r/programming would be cool if it wasn't full of naive pre-undergraduates. (why do those people find everything "interesting"?)
/r/programming has this sort of questions: "Kripke Semantics of Computational Tree Logic is hard, can someone teach me" .. Of course, they don't tell the guy to go fuck himself and get a library membership at the local uni, so they all take turns explaining in 140 characters entire fields, all while doing ASCII-math with the Reddit equivalent of BBCode. Amidst all this crowd-teaching, someone will come in and crack a Bush joke, get upvoted a few thousands points, and all the replies will be puns about temporal logic, atheism, weed and George Bush.

Sad.
