> It often has stories about [...] a new programming language [...]

That's something I think could be automated (at least for me.)

I can (and do) guess whether I am likely to be interested in a new programming language, based on what other languages the commenters compare it to.

In my case it would probably be something like:

* Compared to Haskell, Io or SETL => very interesting

* Compared to Java, JS or Scheme => neutral

* Compared to Groovy, PHP and VB => uninteresting
