To me, I wonder if it would be possible to combine forces, and encourage folks interested in the PLDI topic to post their questions here. I wonder if that might work better than creating a new site. The topic seems largely within the scope of the existing CS.SE site and thus I have the impressi...

Are questions specifically about implementation on-topic there?

I know CS.SE is less theoretical than Theoretical CS but something like "What are the advantages and disadvantages of using LLVM versus compiling to JVM/CLR bytecode" would probably be off-topic, right?
