Did not expect to see "cfdrake" when I initially clicked the link - nice port! :)
Agreed with e28eta - I actually saw RubikSwift demoed at Swift Summit a few days ago as well and enjoyed it. Definitely check it out if you're interested in the topic.

It's only a parser - it just transforms plain source code into an abstract syntax tree representation. However, if you wanted to, you could use this tree for a variety of things - including translating and generating compiled code.

I totally agree with you here. It doesn't matter how much you drop on your fancy chair (and I can't believe how much people debate this endlessly). If you don't get out of it for a few minutes every hour, all your money is probably going to waste in the long run.

- Keep up my blogging streak.
- Write a small webapp or two (I've got a few ideas).
- Learn either Node or a functional language.
- Keep a workout schedule.
Somebody has to remember to repost this question in a month or so... :)

I like the idea of the site, very interesting.
As a suggestion, how about a haskell.micro-optimization.com, rb.micro-optimization.com, or py.micro-optimization.com? I feel like this could be a nice resource if it included more languages.

Personally, I think Python is a great place to start. It's an easy, simple, clear language, and it lets you get stuff done quickly. Plus, it's relatively quick for being a dynamic language and has a lot of high quality (and free) books/guides for new users[1][2][3].
In terms of frameworks, I think if I was just starting, I'd try out something small like Flask[1] or Bottle[2], and get the basic concepts of how web apps should be designed and deployed. Afterwards, I'd "graduate" and take a look at Django via the Django Book[6].

As it stands, the script prints out the next item in the todo list, not the one just removed. Maybe it's not quite the standard expected result in this case, but I figured it'd minimize the amount of commands/work that needs to be done to manage the queue.
Of course, since it's a Gist, you're welcome to fork it ;p
