📚 learning

This repo contains small projects and code snippets I've used to learn programming languages or libraries I'm interested in.

[!IMPORTANT] Disclaimer (for others and myself) If you see incorrect information in any of the README's, keep in mind they will not be touched ever again. They were written when I was learning about a certain topic, and I think there is some kind of beauty in leaving that "naiveness" of learning something for the first time :)

My workflow

I follow the same workflow throughout the lifetime of a branch.

To speed things up, I use the following aliases:

alias commit="git commit -m "$1""
alias add="git add ."
alias push="git push"
alias branch="git branch --show-current"
alias toplevel="git rev-parse --show-toplevel"
alias prev="git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name --abbrev-ref=loose @{-1}"
alias master="git checkout master"

To work a new branch:

git checkout -b <branch>
mkdir -p $(branch)
code $(branch)

To make a new commit:

add
commit "[$(branch)] commit message"

To rebase master after completing work on a branch:

push
code $(toplevel)
master
git rebase $(prev)

After that, I do repeat the process for the next branch.

What I want to learn

Python

• functools: standard library.
• itertools: standard library.
• struct: standard library.
• asyncio: async I/O.
• C API: C level access to the Python compiler.
• C extensions: a way to create Python modules with C.
• pandas: data analysis library.
• numpy: scientific computing library.
• hypothesis: testing library that could compliment my pytest knowledge.

Rust

• tokio: really popular on the Rust community. Would be helpful to reinforce my concurrency knowledge.
• rocket: framework for creating web apps.
• reqwest: HTTP client.
• bevy: game engine.
• diesel: ORM and query builder.

C

• Clay: modern layout library. Can render with raylib, WebGL, etc.
• pthreads: POSIX threads.
• libcurl: CURL API in C.
• libuv: modern async I/O.
• zlib: lossless data compression.
• GTK: toolkit for creating GUIs targeted at GNOME.
• SQLite: self-contained, serverless database.
• ImGui: GUI library.

Web

• NextJS: similar to React, but with backend management too.
• WebGL: graphics engine in the browser.

Zig

• lang: I've always been curious about it.

assembly

• Why not?
• I'd like to learn the NASM (Intel) before GAS (AT&T).
  • Docs (syscalls x86_64): https://blog.rchapman.org/posts/Linux_System_Call_Table_for_x86_64/

Other languages

• General-purpose

  • Carbon: experimental successor of C++ (https://amber-lang.com)
  • Odin: Data-Oriented language (https://odin-lang.org)
  • V: general purpose language (https://vlang.io)

• Functional

  • Flix: combines logic programming and effect tracking (https://flix.dev/)
  • Gleam: a small set of features, for building scalable systems (https://gleam.run)
  • Koka: explicit type system (https://koka-lang.github.io)
  • OCaml: strong typing and multi-paradigm support (https://ocaml.org)
  • Scala: mixes object-oriented and functional (https://scala-lang.org)
  • Unison: identifies code by content (https://unison-lang.org)

• Scripting

  • Amber: compiles to Bash (https://amber-lang.com)
  • Raku: expressive, multi-paradigm, metaprogramming... (https://raku.org)
