Learn A New Language February 21, 2012 We’ve done this before,
and had some fun, so we’ll do it again. There are hundreds,
probably thousands, of programming language. Some are general-
purpose, others are intended for a limited domain. Some are
useful, most get in your way. Some are just weird. We
programmers frequently have to learn a new language, or re-learn
an old one, or adapt to improvements from the vendor. A good way
to learn a new language is to write in the new language a
familiar program from an old language with which you are
experienced. Many people have written that they use the
exercises at Programming Praxis as a way to get started with a
new language. Your task is to write a program that solves the
Programming Praxis exercise of your choice in a programming
language in which you are not proficient. When you are finished,
you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post
your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
