I am having fun with gleam.

@gleam.run gleam !

Gleam is so nice – really love the vibe and design! 🌟 It’s on my list of languages to make a backend web server with so I can say I made a real thing with it!

I'm focusing on odin-lang.org and it's been a real joy! github.com/wolfadex/adv... Also trying to take a stab at Prolog and struggling 😅

Dude Odin looks so cool– just watched @rtfeldman.bsky.social's talk on the Return of Procedural languages and it made me want to explore Zig, C, and Odin some more

I think you'd really enjoy Odin. It's a very practical language. Super fun to work with.

Gleam! So far it's nice, I wonder if I'll have a good opportunity to use the actor model :) When single-threaded it's basically just Elm with different syntax.

(Hmmm ... I thought I responded... ) Anyway, I'm having great success with Prolog so far. Posting my solutions here gist.github.com/z5h/166c9e5b... Completed day four with 65 clean lines of code, but will wait to post the solution.

If I wanted to get good at prolog, do you have any learning resource recommendations? I’ve played with it and really enjoyed the style– but had a hard time finding the best way to use it in 2024

Absolutely! Markus Triska has written and YouTubed some of the most lucid Prolog (and general programming) content ever. www.metalevel.at/prolog www.youtube.com/@ThePowerOfP... It's presented with an idealistic regard for logical purity, while still being practical and efficient.

@bolusmjak.bsky.social

But... use SWI-Prolog. It's the most mature, robust, performant, freely available Prolog. (Although it has made minor practical concessions away from strict ISO conformance). You'll figure out what balance of purity/practicality works for you.
