Programming.dev Meta

Saw that a python community is still missing. Currently getting more and more into it, so would be nice.

Can we have something like nostupidquestions but for computer science/software engineering topics? Would be very helpful for beginners and could probably be a pool where people can ask stupid questions without fear.

Request for a general (Unix) shell community! (shell and Shell Scripting) I made [email protected], so you can tell my intentions if you read the sidebar there. I'm having issues making posts there, though, and this instance makes more sense. I'm a current mod at /r/bash, and intend to reach out to the mods of sister subreddits if they want to join.

I originally was intending on all shell languages, but since we now have !powershell, I'd be fine with restricting it to Unix shells. I don't know pwsh or batch well anyway, I'd have to ask pwshguy to help!

Why not lang-specific communities like !bash?

1. Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
2. In practice, there was a far more overlap than not within the different subreddits; both users and content.

If you disagree with combining sister languages as a policy, that's fine! I'd request both bash/The Bourne-Again Shell and zsh/The Z Shell.

Suggestion for a programmer humor community similar to r/ProgrammerHumor (display name Programmer Humor slug can be something like programmerhumor or programmer_humor)

Would love a PowerShell or at least general scripting/automation community

Hey! Can we have one for Go as well?

Could we get a CSharp community? So /c/csharp, display name C# (or C Sharp)

Would love one for javascript if possible.

What about a community for programming teachers? I work as a computer teacher in what in Spain is called Professional Studies. We teach IT in general (hardware, databases, programming, networking...), and maybe it could be nice to have a community where teachers and general programmers can meet and help to layout the best ways to teach new programmers.

Editing to add:

Url: teach_programming

Display Name: Teach Programming

A general webdev one would be nice, I think we could match the Reddit naming convention of using just Webdev and webdev

"inexperienced devs" or whatever cscareerquestions equivalent.

I'd love to see a functional programming community (url name: fp , display name FunctionalProgramming). I'm most interested in Haskell, but it might be best to start with a larger umbrella and split into smaller communities if/when there's a sufficiently large userbase to justify it.

Can we have a general cloud engineering community? Something encompassing the Azure/AWS/GCS and others for news, Instructables etc. /c/loud would be perfect :)

Request for a Godot community (godot and Godot for slug and display name). There's one over in lemmy.ml but that one is rather dead and figure it makes more sense to have it in here

A datascience community would be awesome.

Could we get a sysadmin community please?

And a privacy community?

Thanks

C++! cpp and C++ I guess?

I'm a .NET developer myself, so a .NET community would be cool.

I would like too add neovim/Neovim community.

Could we get programminghorror (Programming Horror) please? I've got some content to post 😆

CSCareerQuestions with this exact URL, please. I searched for this name on the programming.dev instance and was led to this comment that suggests ask_experienced_devs is a replacement for CSCQ, but /r/CSCQ had a different focus from /r/experienceddevs. Junior developers and interns were also allowed to contribute to CSCQ and the discussions were specifically focused on finding work in the CS industry, while ask_experienced_devs implies that any kind of question directed at senior devs is allowed.

CSMajors (discussion for CS undergrads) and an EngineeringResumes (rate my resume) equivalent would also be great to see.

Some playtesting communities for game Dev Playmygame, destroymygame Would be great

Can we get a community for esoteric languages? Maybe “esolangs” for the url to copy the old subreddit, and Esoteric Languages for the display name?

I'm not a local programming.dev resident, but I'd be interested in a code golf community.

It could be really fun to host/participate in challenge threads, and posts about some fun golfs.

Could you please add an R community? I would suggest url "r", display name "R Programming"

Should we have a "General" or "Other" community as well? Possibly "random"

Would love to see a Flutter community!

Can we have commandline (both url and display name)? In order to share recommendations & news about software that runs on the terminal, without a UI.

I wonder if there would be some interest in looking into DDD (Domain Driven Design) here. I intend to study the topic and wouldn't mind some company. I can also serve as the mod, if that's a necessity.

URL style name: ddd
Display name: Domain Driven Design

Perhaps a Git community would also make sense. URL: git, Display name: Git. I can be the mod for now just to get it started. But I think I would rather hand it over to someone else when the community grows.

I think we should have linux community, display Linux

Could we get terraform and pulumi?

Can we get a "Svelte" community, for all things Svelte and SvelteKit - url name (sveltejs) display name (SvelteJS).

I have some ideas:

• postgresql PostgreSQL
• astro Astro
• nuxt Nuxt
• wasm WebAssembly

Anyone else game for a Django community? I can help mod if you need.

Can we get one for engineering management?

Url: engineering_managers

Display name: Engineering Managers

dotnet community would be nice. Display name .NET. And I could moderate it as well.

Edit: We should have docker Docker too.

Howdy, another “new instance” admin just cruising by your instance to check it out, looks cool and a great focus! If you have Experienced Devs probably good to have Junior Devs too, or one focused on learning resources.

Can we have one for LaTeX (both url and display name)? Thanks!

A TrueNAS community would be nice.

/c/truenas TrueNAS
