It looks like I am half way through the GO track. I just got the laudable learner award from exercism.org. I have already finished learning mode despite some of the exercises being more difficult than they should have been for a learning exercise.
Today I finally finished the last exercise on the Python track. I really wanted to get it finished so I may have peeked at previous solutions I completed. Which didn’t actually help as much as it should have.
Anyway, hooray! I am done! I guess I still have the GO track to finish.
It looks like I got one more award on the GO track on exercism.org. This time for reading other people’s problem solutions. Nice.
I am getting close to a quarter of the way done on the GO track (23.03%), but still have 127 exercises remaining. Looks like it is longer than the JavaScript and Python tracks. Speaking of which I only have ten more Python exercises to go before I am done with that track.
Hi, I got another award from exercism on the GO track. This one is for doing at least one each of the learning exercise subjects. I should probably be somewhat comfortable with the GO syntax by now. Not sure if I am or not but I think I am getting better at it.
Today’s Python exercise was rough. I was getting different results if I ran it locally vs on their servers. All sorts of locale non-sense. You would think you should use the locale library but nope that just makes things not work on exercism’s servers. Their desired locale behavior was non-standard from the start.
Hello, another award from Exercism. I have the book Writing an Interpreter in GO. Recently I also purchased the sequel Writing a Compiler in GO. The problem is that I don’t really know GO all that well. So I decided to try the GO track and now I have 20 exercises down. Hopefully I will be comfortable with the syntax soon. I don’t want to have wasted money on those books. Go seems like a pretty cool language too. Or, maybe it just looks cool compared to the control freaks and crazy activists in the Rust “community”.
P.S. Only 28 exercises left on the Python Track.
