@kirancodes this makes me want to learn both languages on a bunch of toy math problems

And write something about how my various Project Euler solutions work. Some of them are quite nice, and there are probably differences across the languages I did them in

@LivInTheLookingGlass ooh that sounds like a fun blog post or series of posts!! You should totally do it!!!

@kirancodes I think I will

It's gonna be super slow, though, because I am in the midst of a job search. I just found out my work contract is not getting renewed, so I have about 2 months to figure something out

@LivInTheLookingGlass aaah! sorry to hear that!! Good luck with the job search! I hope you find something soon! (I think one of the other postdocs I know is in a similar situation where his advisor essentialy told him his contract would not be renewed so he has until May to find a new position)

@kirancodes sounds interesting! Bookmarked!

@kirancodes both of these languages feel so alien to me because I'm used to C-like imperative languages, which is interesting. When learning a new language or tool it's interesting seeing how much you can take it and fit it into your internal process of creating programs and complex systems, and how much you have to compromise and change the way you think to fit the tools available to you. More functional and/or data-driven languages change the way you think about the programs you write, so I want to try them more

@kirancodes maybe I'll do next years advent of code in closure or ocaml..
