Ask HN: What do you code when you're learning a new language?
Hello there!
preface: CS student here, not working right now.
As many of you, I learn by doing.
But I am in a strange situation: I would like to learn a new language, but I don't have any itches to scratch, I don't need a particularly non-existant piece of software.
So I was wondering: have you ever felt like this ?
What would you code when you want to learn a language but you don't have something to code?
It just came to my mind that maybe I should just prepare a set of algorithms and just rewrite them every time i have to learn a new language. But this doesn't feel like the ``right'' solution.
