"Flood" of "Doing something in [language]" titles

Question

I always thought that questions containing a language tag in the title should be cleaned-up as discussed in Should name of programming language be in the title of a question?

Apparently I'm the only person doing this and we're getting virtually flooded by them:

• A little next combination program in C++
• Noughts and crosses bot in Delphi
• Mimic C#'s nameof() in Python
• Objects moving on a grid in C++ [on hold]
• Best accuracy and performance with timers in JS
• Moving files and leaving links in bash
• Chip 8 Emulator in JavaScript
• Optimizing priority queue streaming algorithm in C++
• Async File Input C++
• Trading card game in Python
• A little stock market game in Python
• Hash table with separate chaining implementation in C

and these are only a couple of examples.

I was wondering, do you we have new site standards or how should they be treated?

I find all such titles were better off without the in language suffix especially that some of them got their suffix by fixing them from language - Doing something to Doing something in language.

Answer 1

It's true that language in a title should be avoided whenever possible.

There is another obstacle though that we need to deal with. Given the way Code Review works, there are essentially no duplicates. We tell you what you need to know, even if you've done the same "mistakes" as some others before you. So this inevitably leads to a lot of "Noughts and crosses bot"-like questions.

However, I think some of these titles comes from the fact that...

Users are just not allowed to put the exact same title on their post as other people already have.

There are other details that can be added in a title though:

• What distinguishes your approach? Hardcoded? Flexible? MVC? Event-driven?
• Is it available to use for others? Then your title could start with "Try my" or similar.
• Tell a story! Or a bad joke. Or something.
• Plenty of other different things too...
