  Not exactly what you're looking for, but I like to monitor changes[1] to https://learnxinyminutes.com/ to find out about new languages.

• Lua: The Modular Language You Already Know

  This is a small code example to get the basic idea. If you want a bit of a bigger file to play around yourself or ever want to learn about a new language you can use LearnXinYMinutes which is a great starting point to learn any language you desire.

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way.

  Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms.

  Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out exactly one line if you use list-comprehensions everywhere!).

  Someone who knows Javascript well still needs to know all the nooks and crannies of the popular frameworks.

  Java with the most popular frameworks (Spring/Boot/etc) can be impossible for a non-Java programmer to reason about (where's all this fucking magic coming from? Where is it documented? What are the other magic words I can put into comments?)

  C# is turning into a C++ wannabe as far as comprehension complexity goes.

  Right now, the quickest onboarding I've seen by far are Go codebases.

  The knowledge tree required to contribute to a codebase can exists on a Deep axis and a Wide axis. C++ goes Deep and Wide. Go and C are the only projects I've seen that goes neither deep nor wide.

  StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff.

  IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java.

  It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this example it would be trained to be able to be able to read a Java tutorial rather than by actually reading a Java tutorial, so when the overall system is asked to write something in Java, the language model within the system decides to do this by opening https://learnxinyminutes.com and combining the user query with the webpage.

  I think this will help make the models more compact, which is a benefit all by itself, but it would also mean that knowledge can be updated much more easily.

  Someone would have to actually do this in order to see if those benefits are worth the extra cost of having to load a potentially huge a tutorial into the context window, and likewise the extent to which a more compact training set makes the language comprehension worse.

• Ask HN: How to learn to be a programmer in 20 years?
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Oct 2023

  So you have studied programming for at least 5 years, what kinds of programs have you written? Apparently you have already applied your skills, since you have "created a good reputation among developers"? Why a time-frame of 20 years, why not 20 months or 20 weeks? Heck, you can learn a lot in even 20 days!

  Once you have learned a few languages, libraries and frameworks then learning new stuff becomes much easier. At that point I'd recommend to check the website https://learnxinyminutes.com. Meanwhile, continue asking questions here and elsewhere :)

  An other tip, if you are into computer science and algorithms stuff I recommend you try to solve problems which are posted at https://codegolf.stackexchange.com. You don't need to try solving them in less than X characters, but just to get them solved by any means necessary. And don't take too much bad influence from the posted solutions.
