Ask HN: Mostly home for the next month. What part of programming to dive into?

2 pointsby cwxmabout 5 years ago
Due to COVID-19, a lot of us are going to be home more than usual.<p>I want to take this time to dive into programming languages, concepts, projects.<p>What would you recommend?<p>for e.g., I&#x27;m interested in learning more about functional programming patterns, how to use Rust in a real project, or contribute to OSS.

I would recommend functional programming, it definitely gets the brain working and will broaden your horizons.<p>If you are interested, we are working on an OSS programming language compiler in Haskell, and we are looking for contributors :) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wasp-lang&#x2F;wasp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wasp-lang&#x2F;wasp</a>

Go and proceed where your heart leads you. Just dive in.<p>I can only speak of myself, but if you are interested in security and haven&#x27;t gave Electron a try, I&#x27;ve written an open source template that could be improved upon: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;reZach&#x2F;secure-electron-template" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;reZach&#x2F;secure-electron-template</a><p>Oh, and be sure to cover your mouth if you cough! (And politely yell at people who cough in their hands :) )
