A collection of the same projects implemented across multiple languages. Goal: To compare syntax, performance, idioms, tooling, and language ergonomics—while having fun and learning.
I love programming languages and all their nuances. I have long wondered about what each language has to offer in various ways, especially beyond its standard library, package managers, and other bundled features; I was curious about the languages themselves syntactically and linguistically, and how these deliberate choices affected the overall feeling and flow of writing in each one.
I have found that languages are always evolving by building ontop of those that came before; fixing up little things the authors thought were lacking from previous iterations, bundling in the strengths of various languages, and throwing in their own little touch of novelty.
Eventually I want to write more languages than I already have, and this repo will serve as a reference of sorts.
