How would you start to learn coding today?
I can't fathom it, but if I had to start over today, I'd:
- Pick something I want to build
- Pick the tools -- whatever's at the top of the latest SlackOverflow survey, though I'm not sure SO matters anymore
- Peruse the https://learnxinyminutes.com link for the chosen tools
- Use an LLM with good prompting to assist me in making what I decided. I'd use chat and hand type the code from the LLM and try to understand what I'm typing and see how it all fits together

Is there a "distrowatch" like site for programming languages?
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

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.

New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality'
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.
