What I learned from tinkering with programming languages in the last 34 days
The article discusses insights gained from experimenting with programming languages over a month. It emphasizes the importance of writing code and solving challenging problems to truly understand programming concepts. Additionally, it mentions a specific project, Jordan Hubbard's nanolang, as a source of inspiration.
- ▪The author has been tinkering with programming languages for 34 days.
- ▪Most of the author's projects are AI-generated, but they focus on understanding the underlying theory.
- ▪Writing your own code is essential for grasping programming concepts.

Cool little project! You might find inspiration from Jordan Hubbard's nanolang project:https://github.com/jordanhubbard/nanolang> My projects are almost all AI generated although I take effort in understanding the theory behind each project.One pro-tip: You will not really understand the theory behind a language or programming unless you write your own code and solve hard problems yourself. So, mix some of that into your projects.
