Jul 2, 2009 at 15:45 comment added Rowland Shaw If you were wanting to be really flash, you could see what languages the question was tagged as, and use this as a heuristic. People with sufficient rep could then do any association for new tags, (it may also encourage more consistent tagging) - still wouldn't always get it right for the "I'm trying to convert this perl to vb.net" type of question, mind you...
