I've created a website called RealKotlin.com that aims to teach people Kotlin tips on a weekly basis.

It's great for newcomers or existing Kotlin developers as the language has a lot of syntactic sugar people just don't realise exist.

To contribute, you just have to write some code and unit tests here. Yeah, I said code and unit tests, and the system generates all the Markdown posts that go into the main website.

Send me a PR with each one of your tips and they will get published soon and sent to a bunch of Kotliners.

Recently, I launched a repo which contains common code snippets in as many languages as possible: github.com/jrg94/sample-programs

You may be familiar with similar projects like The Hello World Collection and Rosetta Code. It's the same idea, but I'm just doing it to learn about different languages and their features.

Feel free to help contribute! I write an article for every code snippet, and you'll get credit for your contributions. :)

This is really cool!
I previously created a syntax-theme for Atom and having something like this would have been really helpful when checking the language-specific highlighting for languages that I'm not as familiar with.

That's also really cool!

I'm wondering if anyone wants to start a WordPress plugin using this repo, so I can have nice highlighting on my website as well. haha

I don't have any experience with WordPress, but I've used codemirror and highlight.js for syntax-highlighting on websites in the past so I'd be happy to contribute if someone got things started.

I also really enjoyed the post you linked in the README about the coolest programming languages features!

I just create a simple project to develop my own react component ui (a simple
storybook alternative) and it's so useful in many use cases.
github.com/yjose/parcel-story

Now, we need some help to create a simple CLI to start a project with parcel-story ?
we use parceljs as js bundler !

Want to work on a compiler? A new language? And have some fun while doing it? Then Leaf is for you. :)

That's the game I'm creating in the language. It ensures the language is becoming useful, and also just shows off a bunch of game writing concepts (in a simple form).

If you just want to watch, follow me on Twitch

Yet another language to add to the collection! Cool stuff. Are there any official docs, so I can get a look at the syntax?

Other than the features on the site, with some examples, there isn't much for docs yet. I've been focusing on getting the compiler's main features done... though I guess it's hard to somebody to contribute with no idea where I am. I'll add docs to my list.

Qub³d Engine Group is a brand new voxel-based engine and game project, aiming to make a mature and extensible Minecraft-like game, backed by a vibrant and friendly community.

Anyone with interest in or experience with the following technologies are encouraged to join the project. They're just starting up, so there's plenty of room to find your niche:

  • C++ (especially C++17)
  • Clang compiler (GCC secondary)
  • OpenGL

I have a website that tries to show helpful information from the Steam Games database.
It is written in Go and I could always do with a hand :)

Thanks.

This actually looks really cool so far. I don't have any experience with Go, but let me know if you need any help with the front-end.

I have been working with a friend on an Image Conversion/Transformation server, ideal for resizing and generating responsive images. Written in PHP, inside a docker, just build and deploy. On the smallest Digital Ocean droplet, it takes 5 min to be running. But there is a lot left to do. We have very high coverage, but there are a lot more tests to write. There are a bunch of issues open, docs to be written.

At least try it out and file bugs, that is great too.

Also use cases are very welcome.
