I was surprised how few of them it attracted and how quickly they left, to be honest.
Maybe it's just hard to tell the difference between the average /b/tard and the average /prog/fag.

There's nothing here for /b/. Why would they stay?

/prog/ is kind of like when /b/ was good -- lots of funny memes, no lolcats (cats with captions are funny, as long as you do not call them lolcats), no motivational posters, all threads are replied to, no exceptions, delicious guro (Sepples here), etc.
Of course, everyone that's still in /b/ is a newfag, so it is unlikely that they would grasp /prog/.

Now that you mention it, the /prog/ of today reminds me of /b/ of 2003-2004. The quality of the humor was so much better back then.

Yes, this is why I visit /prog/ still but gave up on /b/ ages ago, except for the odd peek now and then to see if it's improved (always disappointing.)
What do you think of /prog/rammers writing an ANSI C compiler (C89, just because its difficult as-is already) in one thread of <1000 posts? It could be a fun exercise.

There's much more interesting things to do than write compilers
