Ask HN: What is your go-to project when learning a new language/framework?

When reading HN I've seen people saying that they will often re-implement the same small-but-not-too-trivial project in multiple programming languages. This also helps them pick up a new language fast, and compare the different approaches to solving the same problems.

A recent comment suggested implementing the Snake game [0]. Conway's game of life seems to be another common one. I think some people have even mentioned implementing hackernews clones.
