It's horrible: big fonts, 100% wide and awful spacing of elements. Gives me a headache just reading it. I like the topic though. Hope a designer can jump in and improve the overall experience.
I hope it stays ugly and keeps people who care about this away. Will improve the quality of the contributions I think.
The first thing this has me thinking is that it looks like a "subreddit" of HN. I'm surprised to not have seen or heard of a Reddit style site with HN voting rules on it.
HN voting rules? I thought reddit used the exact same voting system as HN.
Part of the appeal of HN is I get interesting stuff from all over (#) not just my niche.
TO do an HN, but have it on one niche seems missing the point.
(#) less of it now, these kids today, back when I were a lad ... shoebox .. motorway.
It's all a little.... too large...

Not quite, no. You can't downvote stories (only comments, when you reach an appropriate karma level) and the algorithms for story/comment decay seem to be wildly different.
For example, anyone that dislikes {lang} will just downvote any {lang} article
vs
Reading the {lang} article and downvoting it if it's just linkspam

Reddit downvoting is ridiculous at times. People just downvote whenever they see something they don't like or disagree with. For example, anyone that dislikes {lang} will just downvote any {lang} article vs Reading the {lang} article and downvoting it if it's just linkspam

At the end, the success or failure of these kind of web sites tend to be more related to the community rather than the look or the features.
A thought: I think you're doing it wrong if you think of yourself as an "X" programmer. Because those X's will come and go over the years.
what's with JavaScript community to make everything end in "js"? You don't see Ruby guys ending every one of their product names in "rb" or Python guys in "py".
The java equivalent was '4j'. It's mildly useful on a mixed community like HN, you've got some idea before you click through what the target developer audience is.
