I really like the idea of testing a language by writing a small command-line utility with it, even one that -- as the author mentioned -- already exists. Way back when, when I first was learning C, I didn't comprehend it very well. I w

Cooking is a form of engineering. I like that there's a science behind it, and I like that if you become any good, your standard-of-living (of eating?) will be vastly improved. Tip #1: get a good knife. If you can, go to a store that&#
