What's going on with all the upvoting of technology enumeration posts on HN? Is it so interesting that someone uses a different language or library?

Yes, it is. I like to keep up with new technologies so I can better determine which language to choose for my next projects.

Let me help you out then:

    I switched from ruby to clojure because jvm is awesome
    and it's a lisp and I also use coffescript, backbone,
    requirejs and raphael. I've been using this stack for
    about a month and a half, it's awesome.

Does this help? How does this help you solve your problem? I'm going to go with "It doesn't". All of these posts boil down to that form.

The good ones start with: "Over the last year we deployed [insert stack] into production..". And then tell me what sucked because not everything is awesome.

I agree we do see a lot of these posts. But of all types the posts that are becoming popular, these are welcome.
