Would love to see a list of sample projects for each common language that plays to its strengths. Often if trying to pick up a new language in my spare time, I can get to a stage of learning the syntax, but if I do it by following a "101" tutorial, I'll end up building another To-do app or whatever — it's very hard from an "unknown unknown" position at the start to find the path into idiomatic "X" that will show you the unique features and paradigms of the language.
