Everyone's favorite idempotent podcast returns to discuss learning new languages and concepts. Can mixing and matching new concepts and syntax help or hinder language adoption?

Lars is very much in a building phase. He has problems, but they are his problems.Lars is currently learning - among other things - by working with other people, putting himself out there, and arranging a conference.LinksAlan PerlisA language that does not affect the way you're thinking is not worth knowingDomain-specific languagesRailsPhoenixElixirErlangPrologGleamElmThe CodeBEAM Gleam keynote by Hayleigh Thompson and Louis Pilfold is not out in video form yetAnt (the build system)BashXLST - Extensible Stylesheet Language TransformationsXquerySAX parserSweetXmlExercism course on GleamLustre web frameworkSprocket web framework - Gleam-style implementation of LiveviewOTPAtomVMCardputerREPL - read-eval-print loopNIFGHC - the Haskell compilerLuaDave Lucia and Robert Virding talking about Lua on the BEAM - also not out in video form yetThe Konami codeUiuaZFSEvan - creator of Elm - in Kodsnack 604SmalltalkPony
