what are the programming languages that you learned just for fun (not for a purpose)?

• TIC-80

  134 4,744 9.2 C

  TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

And virtual consoles like PICO-8 and TIC-80 use it for their retro games

• Fennel

  90 2,289 9.3 Fennel

  Lua Lisp Language

I combined learning a lisp and Lua by using Fennel to configure Neovim and solve some HackerRank problems. Knowing how lisp Fennel transpiles to procedural/functional Lua was really educational.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• circle

  54 2,165 5.0 C++

  The compiler is available for download. Get it!

Real shame, because yeah, Ada is night-and-day more ergonomic / enjoyable than C++ (to me); Only now do they feel like they're really catching up... but you can only go so-far without a cleanroom C++2 at this point (https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle is probably the closest we're ever going to get ... and no idea if Sean is going to ever opensource it again at this point)
