I actually really enjoy doing katas on https://www.codewars.com/ https://www.codewars.com/, especially when I'm ramping up on a language.
You solve a short problem, and then immediately see how other people solved it. I'll frequently write something and then see a solution that uses a library function I wasn't aware of, or a solution that's similar but better follows the language conventions.
It's really helpful to solve something short and get immediate feedback on it. You aren't learning how to write big programs with the language, but it's still useful at first.
- cttet 9y agoAgree, I have learnt both Clojure and Haskell on codewars when I was bored in lab. Another advantages is that the typical problems in codewars often does not involve learning extra libraries or IO, which often distracts me from learning the language itself.
- digitalzombie 9y agoI do that with Exercism and Elixir. It's pretty awesome.
- jmcgough 9y agobeen meaning to try exercism for a while, thanks for the reminder
