    I doubled down on and completed a handful of exercises using on exercism.org/tracks/vlang

    It's pretty similar to with some really cool features (Option/Result rather than nil), a batteries-included GUI framework, and a REPL (!)

    I earned the badge on using :golang:

    I remember trying to learn Go a while ago (just for fun) and got stuck early, unable to figure out something that should have been trivial. IIRC, trying to combine a string and a number into e.g. "abc123" - it looks like fmt.Sprint is one way I never found at the time.

    Dabbling in Rust for #MechanicalMarch on #Exercism #12in23

    I have to admit, every attempt at a typed language (except for TS) is pretty challenging for me 😅

    I was going to do #Rust for the #MechanicalMarch of the #12in23 #Exercism challenge... but ended up doing #Go instead.

    Not further down the syllabus tree to really get to the juicy parts just yet, so can't say much about it.

    On a side note, I am not sure how much the whole #Go #telemetry scandal is affecting the community, or new people joining. It'd be interesting to know if the pace of people doing #Go at #Exercism has been affected at all 🤔
