Hey there! 👋

I really like this concept of trying X over just reading about X. I had an idea which I thought I would bring up here. You're welcome to close this issue if you don't like the idea 😄

A while ago I stumbled across Sqids, and I noticed in their list of languages that they distinguish between implemented & unimplemented languages. For the unimplemented languages, they actually have a repository set up. I think it's very clever, and this post on Hacker News summarizes it in their way:

It’s kinda clever. The people most likely to look at this project are also likely ideal candidates for implementing the library in a new language (Developer, FOSS enthusiast, interested in the project, need the library in a language they’re familiar with that isn’t implemented yet).

Also, the language pills differentiate between those that have been implemented (color logo, dark text, bold) and those that aren’t (grayscale).

I was thinking it might be nice to have the disabled links for X work similar to this, where you could have an initial document that states that it's still in a very early revision / not started, and link to the source code (or an issue with +1's). If you're a fan of digital gardens, this could also be thought of as a seedling vs an evergreen.

Currently working on a Lua guide. For now I'm porting over the guide from the learnxinyminutes page and breaking some of it into smaller sub-sections. After that I plan to go through some Lua primers/introduction and insert relevant text into the guide.

Hi,

I'm a fan of your tryxinyminutes and I would like to contribute a plantuml guide. I see 2 ways to do this. Either create a java sandbox or use existing python sandbox but it requires installing additional plantuml package. Do you have a java sandbox as the engine in the live server or Could you explain how to create a template file for python that includes this additional package?
