Learn 12 programming languages in 23: Failed

1 min readJan 8, 2024

Last year I had the goal to learn 12 programming languages but I did fail.

I was progressing well, but I faced some challenges and could not complete the goal to learn a new language in three months in a row. As a result, I lost the motivation to rush just to complete the challenge.

I wanted to have time to explore properly, as I had been doing so far.

It’s not a total failure because usually I learn/explore one language every year and this time I manage to do five.

I learned Rust, Elixi, Nim, Crystal, and Julia. From that the Elixir, Crystal, and Rust were the ones that I liked most.

Exercism 48in24

If you've read any of my posts about 12in23, you know that I used the website Exercism frequently.

This year they have a new challenge, that’s called 48in24, if you want to know more about it, go to https://exercism.org/challenges/48in24.

I am considering doing some of it with the languages I liked last year.
