Hehe that's interesting. I'd never associated LTU with modern languages. I'm 
not sure why. Possibly because of the archaic UX and UI. It's incredibly 
difficult to parse.

I think because of a lack of overview. When you go there initially, you're 
immediately reading the latest article, which, if you understand the context 
and what the site is, is fine... but if you don't, then it can be confusing.

Silly question, perhaps, but isn't that true of a stack exchange site as 
well?

[Julian Leviston]

Nope...

If you go here:
http://stackoverflow.com

...you'll notice that there's a clear heading saying "top questions", and it's 
very clear that there are questions and answers under that. Particularly the 
"Ask Question" button on its own. The structure, design and layout of the site 
informs the purpose very clearly.

Contrast this with the freeform wiki nature of LTU which doesn't really have a 
layout...
