c# + asp.net core, after working for 3 (painful)years in java I wanted to try the "Java done right", so far it has been a really pleasant experience, not so nice as Python + Django or Ruby + RoR, but light years ahead of spring boot.

#422As a native English monolunguist I'm learning Russian.
Rust for a side project I've just started.
Music production techniques and how modular synthesis works.
I also started skateboarding a couple of months ago after around a 8 year break so I'm getting my flat ground practice on my patio haha (although I'm taking it easy for obvious reasons)

#423I'm learning the ins and outs of WebAssembly. I just picked back up writing my compiler to WASM for my toy programming language (think JS crossed with ML). Right now I'm getting a feel for writing stack based bytecode and implementing basic features like local variables and control flow. It's not much, but I just got factorial to compile in my language which felt totally awesome.
This sounds really neat. Do you have an open source repo for this? Would love to check it out. What framework are you using to write the compiler itself? LLVM, or something else?
Here's the repo: https://github.com/nicholaslyang/saber Fair warning, the code is quite gnarly.
I'm not using any frameworks. Took a bit to figure out code generating wasm, but once I got the basic emitter/IR working it got a little easier. Plus you start being able to read the binary format after a bit of practice.

#426Audio programming and all jungles surrounding it - C++, plugin frameworks, Fourier transform, filters design etc. Step by step, often hard but also rewarding.

I'm about 3 weeks into Rust right now. You'll probably want to use it exclusively in short order.

#428I just got my private pilot's license in December, so I'm studying for my instrument rating right now.
(New pilots are restricted to flying in "visual" conditions - clear weather. The instrument rating allows flying in reduced visibility conditions.)

#429I’ve been working on my music production skills with a learn monthly class from Andrew Huang. It’s been good to push myself into production; I have many years of live music experience but haven’t spent a lot of time recording.
I’d classify my style as synth wave meets 80s arena rock for the current track I’ve been working on :)
My learning path is here [0] and I’ve also been uploading works in progress to my soundcloud [1]

#430Spanish, and Category Theory
I can't tell yet which is harder. Both are pretty tough.
