You must be a newer human. Slashdot is a venerable news site of old, with a very interesting comment and moderation scheme.

Just because something is different does not make it horrible. I actually rather like /. and think many others do as well.

It links to the one hour interview at YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYbNh3NS7jA .

His views on Rust starts at https://youtu.be/aYbNh3NS7jA?t=1353 .

Go at https://youtu.be/aYbNh3NS7jA?t=1472 . (Short)

After making his comments about Julia, "I"m sure in 5 minutes that will be on Hacker News with a counter-example" (of a web server in Julia "with a lot of mileage out of it).

TypeScript at https://youtu.be/aYbNh3NS7jA?t=1566 . Of the four mentioned language, that has the most influence on Python.

As others have pointed out, Slashdot is a classic site. It has been around for decades at this point and it used to fulfil the role that Hacker News does for me today: it was where I would go to see news about tech.

It makes me sad to see that it has gone down hill so much since I last visited. Hacking the back button like that makes me not want to visit again.

My heart weeps for what the next generation stands to lose.

It's just a summary of the linked youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYbNh3NS7jA

What do you not like about it?

There are some buttons on top, text in the middle and comments on the bottom. I'd say that's a pretty straight forward UI.

Truly egregious history hijacking happening here
