HN comment orderI was watching the youtube series on solving advent of code in APL and was blown away. I immediately checked this site to see if X == APL just to get a sense of what the hell is going on, but unfortunately it's not yet there yet. Anyone got a favorite obscure language they could recommend? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=apl%20advent%20...
Ah, classic. X in Y minutes is a great resource if you want a concise, simple, brief example of what's cool about a language. It's not enough to actually learn the language from, but it's an excellent place to start.
To review a language/framework that I know, I write small programs using a few of its features while learning the said language/framework. On my free time I would then browse/review those codes using a source code viewer app installed on my smart-phone.
It's a great site, of course, but lists don't make good submissions to HN. The comments will be about the lowest common denominator of the items on the list, and this is usually pretty generic. It would be better to pick one of the most interesting items on the list and submit that instead. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
