At this point, you'd be crazy to visit the USA at all.

I'm thinking about trying the upcoming Advent of code with Raku, but I have never used it and it looks too complex to be picked up in a week or two. Any thoughts?

Well, let me tell you from experience that everything is difficult in Germany due to insane bureaucracy. I applied for student funding twice and twice I had to pay everything back due to technicalities. I would not consider founding a startup in Germany.

C is actually a huge disadvantage here for me, since I have no use for it outside of this tutorial which makes it hard to justify learning it on top of learning how a compiler works...

That just sounds like a product type with some dynamic checking, no?

> The overhead to writing C makes it a less friendly introduction to the topic if you have never written a compiler or interpreter (or parser, specifically) before.

That's true and was my first thought. C seems like an arcane choice for an introduction course.

I'm thinking about following the tutorial in Julia or Kotlin, but it would be interesting how the code looks in a different language like F#.

How was F# for the task?

What is silly is saying that everything is possible until proven otherwise. It's possible when it's discovered, otherwise it's not.

Never.
