That Leaderboard is dominated by China, perhaps you guys shouldn't be battling each other ;)
Hey here's an idea: Let people create their own challenges and let them assign some point values to them (if the person is a high scorer, maybe let them give the challenge higher points). Then other people can try to solve it and vote on user created challenges. Get the ecosystem going! What do you think?

So in the long term, how exactly will this be different from http://www.topcoder.com/ ? Just wondering... I signed up already anyway.
Good question. Top Coder is more of a crowd-sourced approach to solving a problem, where as we're focused on building an interactive community.
Surprised nobody mentioned Interview Street. It has a lot of difficult challenges that you can solve in your own favourite language (supports 15). That Leaderboard is dominated by China, perhaps you guys shouldn't be battling each other ;)
Ah, I just have to say I loved that I could just start doing them. No sign up, no email or anything, you just gave them to me. Wonderful.

Sorry, you are wrong. Check the algorithm section. It is all about competitions for developers.
Oh man, being number 13 makes me really want to get another 300 points to be in the top 10... This is pretty cool, I want some more!
It looks like only Javascript devs are welcome. :\

Yeah, there's a huge Javascript bias. When they describe a dev with 7 to 10 years experience as: "Web Hipster; I was using AJAX before it was even called AJAX.", it's a bit like hearing nails on a chalkboard.
As for Javascript, it is by far the easiest to implement online, so it's good for a prototype. I don't think it's supposed to remain that way, as subscribers are allowed to choose their favorite dev area.
