       26 programming languages in 25 days: I solved #AdventOfCode using a new language (or two) each day: awk, TeX, C, Java, MATLAB, C#, Ruby, Julia, bash, vimscript, C++, R, JavaScript, Erlang, Go, Python, Standard ML, PHP, Common Lisp, TypeScript, sed & bc, Lua, Haskell, Scala, Racket. I've blogged thoughts on the strategy, tactics and logistics of using a language per day if you're interested in trying a “breadth-first search" of PL space: https://matt.might.net/articles/26-languages-part1/

       @mattmight I started doing the same thing, similar strategy, but unfortunately I couldn't find enough time to finish it this time.I used Julia, Forth, Prolog, Haskell, Emacs Lisp, APL, Typescript, Scheme, Common Lisp, C...It'd have been be fun trying ML, Smalltalk, F#, SQL, Lean, maybe GLSL..  Maybe next year!

       I tried the same thing, @davazp and @mattmight, sans the strategy, i.e. going in with whatever I felt like that day, and ended up like @kensanata in 2016, giving up after 10 days.  I also logged my experiences in a more casual post, TL;DR I used POSIX shell (sed, dc, sort, tail), Hare, Nim, Julia, Ruby, D, Janet, Fortran, Tcl and AWK.

       I […] joined the Programming Languages and Software Engineering labA staff just came this afternoon and overrode the room’s sign to Lab of Software and left (not even bother to fix the crooked sign).  My advisor (the lab’s PI) haven’t mentioned anything related.  I wonder if some higher-up read my blog and decided to silently change the name :blobfoxgooglycry:
