ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

For example we should divide this forum to java, c++, etc. to make it easier for people to find the answer they need for specific programming problems.
I honestly don't think that the traffic in programming
warrants it - for me it would be more hassle to have to
look through 4,5 sub-forums to see whether there's a
subject I could help with rather than just glancing over
the page of 20 posts....
Better use of tags would make sense to me.
[edit]
As for the finding stuff: I reckon using the search
and tags makes more sense than grouping things by language.
If you had 50 pages worth of shell-scripting stuff to
wade through there'd be no benefit to the concept.

I'm going to have to agree with Tinkster. It would be much more of an annoyance for me to have to go through each forum. I mean, I may be able help regardless if the person is using Java, C++, C, Ruby, whatever. I think it'd kill this forum rather then help it.
i agree with the 'nay' votes. it may make sense for people who only focus on one language, but a lot of the people here use and can comment on multiple languages, so that would only be a hassle for them to click across multiple forums.
