State of the art is to have an adaptive design for all clients.

Absolutely!

And it's not exactly difficult...although it can be a fit fiddly and time consuming

As a newbie here I am amazed at how difficult posting, navigating and commenting is, especially on mobile. Having to put HTML markup in is a bit like being back in the 1990's.

A good start would surely be to put a viewport tag in and disable the right hand block on low screen widths with a CSS media selector. It wouldn't help commenting but would immediately improve the display of all nodes.

The lack of a modern, responsive and simple site does nothing to dispel the image of Perl being old fashioned, outdated and obsolete.

    I love the charming anachronisms of old school websites. Perlmonk's pages are available as XML so writing new client apps is really easy. Minor tweaks to accomodate mobile also seems wise.
