Please comment with what communities you would like to be added here.

For mod creation I need both the url style name (experienced_devs) and the Display name (Experienced Devs)

    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.

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

      Arguing about how one language is superior to another and the never ending tabs vs spaces discussion is a very important part of dev culture.

      I didn’t saw this comment at first so I deleted my comment :)

        Letting you know that I made a programmer humor community in the instance :) Since you also suggested it if you want to mod it let me know (and post there) and I can add you

      there’s a three character limit on community names for some reason. how about go_lang? or golang? and Go for the community name?

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

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

    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’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.

    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

      would this be similar to the /r/learnprogramming community on reddit? Sounds like a good community though!

        Sure! Was thinking in a more teacher focused approach, but maybe it’s better to have a wider focus, learnprogramming sounds a great idea!

          sorry, I wasn’t trying to get you to change what you wanted the sub to be about. If you want it to be teaching based then I can do that!

            Uhmmm… If it’s ok to you, let’s try learnprogramming and teachprogramming, and we can see the engagement they both get.

              I agree, if only because there are certain techniques for teaching programming that I’d love to discuss with people, and that’s going to be a distraction to people who want to learn programming instead.

      I would love to have this community. Teaching programming requires a special set of techniques and it would be cool to discuss with others. @Jaumel, what level are you teaching at - high school, college, university (if that’s different from college in Spain… sorry, idk much about the spanish system).

      I’m teaching at the university level - both graduate and undergraduate.

        I’m not sure how it corresponds to other countries. We get students usually from 16 to 20, in what is called Professional Studies. It’s more focused on practical skills than theoretical. When they finish the upper level they can go to the university, and they don’t have to do several subjects of the first year, as they are very similar to what they did in the upper level. In these professional studies there is no maths, physics and so on, they only study practical subjects (hardware, networking, programming, operative systems…). Edit: some spelling mistakes

          I’d say that’s similar to vocational courses in high schools and/or community colleges that are focused primarily on getting students to learn hands-on tech skills that lead directly to employment, but it’s nice that they have the option of continuing on to university, which is something that vocational programs in the US typically don’t focus on.

            Yes, that would be it. Not all of the studetns go to university, and the studies are not focused to that end, but as you say, it’s a nice option they have, and (inventing here) maybe about 15-20% decide to, at least, try it.
