alexr_rwx | ARE YOU ASKING FOR A CHALLENGE

We are doing a 30-day challenge. And we're doing it so hard, we're going to do it for 31 days. All of May.

Y'know, like NaNoWriMo or, more importantly, NaRoRuMo.

This month: I will write some code in Go every day.

Why? I want to get good at Go. If you would prefer some different challenge -- or think I should maybe be working to learn some other programming language -- you are more than welcome to do it your own damn self.

First project: implement a register machine in Go! I'm reading that Dan Dennett book Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking and he gives this lovely introduction to computing through register machines. They have a nice little VM that they use in classes at Tufts, called RodRego (on github) ... and it uh... seems to be implemented in RealBASIC.

After that: all the Functional Programming Principles in Scala homework, but in Go, and maybe Project Euler problems or little NLP practice problems (a CFG parser or IBM Model 1 Aligner or something)... but I'ma write a bunch of Go code.
