Do you use it for something? Even if not, I love this idea for learning new toolsets.

- true_religion 10y ago> Do you use it for something? Nope, I just fell in love with a class project and expanded it greatly. If you decide to go this route, I'd suggest picking an old class project too. Class projects are pretty much cut down to whatever a student can build within 2 months, taking into account that their time is split 5 different ways and they are inexperienced in the language. It's the perfect amount of depth so you're not writing a toy project, but you are also not overwhelmed and consider this a real "side project" or 2nd job. If you want something smaller---do a chat app. They're dead simple, and will teach you the network stack of whatever language you are using. Add some bells and whistles like image sharing to make it like Yahoo 2.0, and you'll have something fairly meaty.
