The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

At last, a new Star Wars film I'm excited about 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

So today I did something unusual and navigated down to Latest Best Picks. Now I feel as I did something completely wrong, they weren't so good at all. In fact they were a bit bad, misleading, bad practice etc, if I had implemented that I'd feel very dirty. 
It didn't used to be like that. It used to be full of high quality pieces that you learned a lot from...

Four of five articles in the list are actually from one author who has re-activated his articles after deleting them (the background can be read in the Bugs and Suggestions forum).
I guess that these are shown because they have more votes than new (latest) articles.

Well, then they really shouldn't appear in that list. The problem goes a little beyond that I'm afraid, it has happened a bit too frequent. Articles that are ok, gets a ton of votes, while articles that are really important fall behind in the queue. It shouldn't be like that.
BTW: I assume that this is the back story[^].

A part of the story (the thread leads to another one).
I just want to explain what is actually happening. I'm with you regarding the quality of some articles having many votes while other really good ones does not. The initial thread of the back story is discussing some of your aspects. Especially that downvotes are not counted when there are lot of high votes.

I also remember about two years ago were I was asked my views about the voting system, my take was that you shouldn't be allowed to vote on an article unless you where an author and had at least a premium author reputation. It might be a bit strict, but I think it would fix a lot of problems (perhaps also create some new ones?).

Don't get me started on article voting...

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

Perhaps, I formed it in a form of a rant, so I'm satisfied now

...soon. Just back from work, getting a quick bite to eat and then taking the boy down to the pub.
For those late to the story, my son Jeremy turned 18 today.

What a start of work.
Opening CP and seeing on top of the community list the subject "Off to the pub".
Have to wait ten hours before I can say that.
However, have a nice evening at the pub with Jeremy.

Well, I am doing this with my son occassionally.
The good thing is, since he is only 10, he's not allowed yet drinking beer, so I am getting his too...

SyncFusion is turning loose it's entire control set. I've had a license since someone posted in the lounge about a "good deal." Since then I've renewed my support twice, never yet actually using the elephanting control set. They have been very good at working with me, and I hope in 2015 I can actually roll out an app.
Nevertheless, free is free.

Thanks for the link! 
This control library might have some goodies in it!

That's at least the 3rd time this has been posted. Twice in the lounge, once in the Insider, who knows where else.

Marc,
When should I expect my "That's a repeat post." hat? Now I feel like a true member of the CP family.
