| Oct 5, 2011 at 6:20 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Gilles: I am not an expert on PL, but surely research-level questions in PL theory are on-topic on cstheory. Non-theoretical questions about compilers, ... are not PL theory and to best of knowledge are usually considered part of systems area. | |
| Oct 4, 2011 at 23:01 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Kaveh There's a lot of programming language theory (typing, compilation, static analysis, …) that falls through the cracks between SO and CSTheory. Programmers.SE isn't a reasonable place for scientific questions. Even algorithm questions, which are officially on-topic on SO, tend to get closed if they aren't tied to a particular programming language. | |
| Sep 29, 2011 at 10:19 | comment | added | Kaveh | But AI researchers already have a site (MetaOptimize.com, Stats.SE), Software Engineering has programmers.SE. There is a proposal for computational sciences/scientific computing. HCI has a proposal already. Graphics have a site as do Electronics. So in my opinion, the only uncovered area is Systems (Operating Systems, Networks, ...). | |
| Sep 29, 2011 at 10:19 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Artem, no, currently only theoretical questions in those areas are on-topic on cstheory. | |
| Sep 29, 2011 at 6:32 | comment | added | Artem Kaznatcheev | the first 3 points, are already covered by cstheory at the research level: computer-vision, image-processing, AI, compiler, and programming-language. Thus, the CS forum would only differ in that it concentrates on non-research level questions. | |
