Exploring Elixir & Phoenix. Solved some AOC & exercism problems with it, and wrote a BF compiler. So far, enjoying every bit of it. The language itself is beautiful! Codes are available on my Github[1] account :). [1] https://github.com/wasi0013/
... Don't laugh: C I learnt programming mainly through various scripting languages, some of which had some relatively simple visual output available, which I personally found invaluable for learning and visualizing. I realized that better visual output was the main thing holding me back from doing more in C since there are so many options, often complex, involving much boilerplate. So my mini project is essentially e…
I've been trying to build real systems with Microsoft's Durable Functions. I've been utterly fascinated by the patterns that have emerged on some of them.
I’ve started getting into Go. Looks good so far. Working on a side project, which is my best way to get into something new.
what are your resources to learn the lang?
My favourite resource right now is exercism.io. Although some tracks have too much of a high students/mentors ratio to be effective/practical in mentored mode (or to activate the mode at all), going through all the exercises (and community solution) is still a very effective way to learn a language (along with a textbook, of course).
Codewars is another interesting idea, however, it's much more grounded on computer science, which is not very well suited to just learning a language.
I'm currently trying to get into game development and Rust so I'm trying out Amethyst: https://book.amethyst.rs/master/ . I wanted to follow along with a roguelike game tutorial for Rust, but there was a problem. I would love to make some games that you can play co-op with some friends as I feel like there aren't enough games like it out there.
Nice! I just did a simple roguelike in Rust a few months ago. I somewhat regret not looking at what it would take to make is work with wasm from the beginning, though.
