Discussion boards forums update
-
Hi everyone. I'm afraid I'll be mocked in buzzword bingo but still, I'll raise a question that has popped up inside my head when I've visited discussion boards recently. There's still a Delphi forum here and looks like nobody cares about it anymore (it celebrated a year with no activity 2 days before). Still, lots of stuff is going on right now: functional programming (also with the rise of functional-first languages like Scala, F#, Elixir), AI, Golang, Rust, embedded development etc I don't mean to offend anyone but when I look at the current set of forums it seems to me that Codeproject fails to keep up with the current state of affairs (which is not true if you lurk at the recent articles). Anyways any opinions would be welcome :)

To be honest we've focused more on Quick Answers than the discussion forums but you're right: if we're going to provided forums we should at least ensure they are up to date. From your point of view what would you like to see? I'm thinking we need to cover: The core: C++ .NET (C#, VB, etc) Web languages / markup such as Javascript, Typescript, CSS, LESS, CASS, ECMAScript Web Frameworks and libraries (Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, Bootstrap, Semantic, knockout etc) Functional languages Database / storage tech (SQL, NoSQL, Redis, Elastic) Mobile Hardware / Networking / Microcontrollers / chipsets Algorithms, Patterns, Optimisation Game Dev Broader AI / Machine Learning / Data Science + language such as R, Python IoT and automation DevOps, SysOps, SecOps, NoOps, whateverOps Monitoring and performance Hosting and Containers (Docker, Kubernetes etc) Other Third party components Audio / Visual Anything else?

Hi Chris, thank you for your response. The list looks quite exhaustive to me, maybe the only thing that one could add is "languages for web backend i.e. Ruby, Python, PHP" (I'm not sure about the proper name but I hope you get my point) I'm not a big fan of those, but I suppose they are still relevant. At least I've noticed a Python question in Javascript forums recently
