🍿👨💻 #JavaScript on #Exercism : Introduction
Going to be working through the JavaScript learning track on my YouTube channel. Here is the introduction.
[PRIMI PASSI] Exercism
È già stato nominato in diversi commenti ma questo portale merita un post dedicato. Utilissimo per esercitarsi, soprattutto per chi è agli inizi.
L'iscrizione è gratuita e permette di esercitarsi in 62 linguaggi diversi. Inoltre è possibile confrontarsi con la comunità, cosa non da poco, e chiedere gratuitamente la correzione di tutor volontari.Davvero una piattaforma da esplorare.
Buon divertimento 😉
Really got into #exercism this week and it is an amazing resource to learn programming languages! It is also a very interesting place innovating on an open and non profit business model. I am surprised how long I went by without knowing about it. I think everyone trying to learn a programming language should give it a try! https://exercism.org/ ah, and consider donating to them (I did and feel great about it; also the videos you get from insiders are better than a Netflix series)
I've earned the Appy August badge on #Exercism using #JavaScript which is a little bit of a cop-out, but I do plan to also complete at least one other language this month.
Just finished #ziglings
I truly found #zig to be a magnificent language.
It feels like what #Go could have been, if the priorities of the go language designers were mildly different.
I think the next step for me would be #exercism and learning how packaging, project structure and dependency management is done in the land of #ziglang.

I'm doing the #12in23 challenge on #exercism and I have to say it's going pretty well considering it's July... I've officially ticked off 12 languages with at least 5 exercises other than the generic 'hello, world!".
There will be a big blog post to write at the end of the year, but so far the #haskell community solutions are the most interesting/surprising to me - so much to learn about good ways to write things there.
I've earned the Jurassic July badge on #Exercism using #Fortran - the language I wrote my PhD code in (so the use of 'Jurassic' certainly makes me feel old).
Fortran has improved somewhat since I last really used it, but I'm slightly confused by a segfault (ah, segfaults, I did not miss you) I got in this exercise:https://exercism.org/tracks/fortran/exercises/collatz-conjecture/iterations?idx=1 -- if I don't use the j = i redirection it segfaults. I've requested mentoring for it, but if anyone is able to diagnose what's wrong please let me know!
@arclight I'm going to do the #exercism Fortran exercises to see how the newer stuff looks but f90 let me do a lot of high-precision numerical stuff without ever worrying about pointers or memory, and it was reasonably clear to read/write for someone who didn't go through CS (physics).
Git my 5th reputation point on #exercism so now I even have a public profile.
I hope people don't judge me for using it for PHP instead of cooler stuff, I have to ramp up fast and it's what the company uses. 🤷
Did #rust exercises in #exercism and came across this beautiful solution that shows well how to use closures. It was done by jfmartin, original source:

I earned the #AnalyticalApril badge on #exercism using #python :python:
I'm behind on what I hoped to do this month thanks to a bad cold, but I'll also be working through the #rstats :rstats: and #julia :julia: exercises. Python is far from my favourite language, but it's relentlessly common so I really should get better at using it. I've deployed a couple of AWS Lambda functions using it since it's so much better supported.

Some simple observations, reflections and learning from doing #Exercism exercises on #jq ... a blog post in progress. Let me know if you find it useful, and I'll keep going. Thanks for reading! https://qmacro.org/blog/posts/2023/03/29/learning-from-community-solutions-on-exercism/
I doubled down on #MechanicalMarch and completed a handful of exercises using #vlang on #exercism https://exercism.org/tracks/vlang
It's pretty similar to #golang with some really cool features (Option/Result rather than nil), a batteries-included GUI framework, and a REPL (!)
