quine-relay VS Exercism - Scala Exercises

If there were more languages, then it'd be `console.log("System.out.println({python_source})")`, etc. The problem then becomes quoting and escaping inner quotes. I managed to avoid the problem by using both single and double quotes, and relying on Python's `repr` also giving valid JS strings, but if I had to add one more language I'd have problems.

I still think the Quine Relay is a tour de force, but for different reasons. It's not 128 quines in different languages, but an incredibly robust system for quoting and escaping strings in 128 different languages.

One of the most impressive works I've seen: https://github.com/mame/quine-relay

"Quine" is a type of program, when executed, will output itself (it's actually it's source code). It's very hard to write one. And this guy wrote a loop quine. It supposed to work like this: * A program in language A output a program in language B * The program in language B output a program in language C * The program in language C output the same program in language A which we started with

Or a Quine relay.

Why use a couple of languages, when you can use 128 of them simultaneously? https://github.com/mame/quine-relay

Quine relay [1] is to this day the most "I will never understand this" brainfuck project I have ever seen.

Go look at a programming quine and tell me it isn't art.

When I got my first job as a junior software engineer, my team lead suggested I take a course by MIT, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python to improve my fundamental knowledge of computer science. The course duration was 9 weeks and I learned a lot of theory about programming and picked up Python syntax. I liked the course and especially the exercises that were presented there. At that time I also discovered an amazing website called Exercism. I thought since I became familiar with the Python syntax and knew how to build simple apps, maybe it would be nice to explore some AI-related stuff. But after playing around with it I realized AI is really not for me. I'm not into analyzing data and everything that goes with it. I was more of an engineering and problem-solving type of developer.

Exercism

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.
