Thanks marcamillion, your advice is befitting and makes a lot of sense.
We're already halfway done on a totally new glossy look (themed blue & green) and a much more intuitive UX. This should be up in a couple weeks.
We're a small team of devs with no major funding, so we do the best we can given the resources we have. Our idea was to launch early, launch often and keep fine-tuning along the way. Guess we overshot on the programming effort and left the UX work in a little bit of a backlog.
Btw, for better or for worse, Java and C++ are still the most popular programming languages being used in the industry till recently :) (http://langpop.com/)
thanks, yes, there's a lot of pending stuff to be fixed, especially UI stuff. We were more into getting the programming components right and hadnt paid too much attention to the UI, but we hope to give the site a totally new look (with cleaner logo!) by end of next week.
