Would that need a recruitment drive?

This would grow slowly and a marathon doesn't start with a sprint.

You folks are spending a lot of time/energy going 'round and 'round about what exactly this new section would be named, but you don't seem to have grokked the faqlet "I think there should be a new Section..."
Please go do that first.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

I've "grokked it"; I just completely disagree with it. And so do a lot of other people here.

I understand that this place is "not a democracy" (though why its not is another leading question), but surely the weight of numbers of the current, regular participants should count for something?

And a final thought for you:

Perhaps, if this place was (slightly) less proscribed and introverted; more open to Monk's wider, and evolving programming roles, interests and requirements; more of the once very active, now sorely missed, old guard might still be around; and the participation rate here wouldn't be falling year on year.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked

Mh... I take it from your replies that sections are not topical. Granted.

But I'm surprised by your harsh reaction.

All I meant was that opening the Perl community and perlmonks to integrate JS might be a good strategic move.

And I doubt this was discussed before, please point me to that discussion otherwise. The link you provided doesn't help here.

And even if it was discussed before, it's not necessarily up to date cause the landscape for dynamic languages changed considerably in the last years.
