When learning any programming language, I create a 'dump' folder into which I commit various scripts during the learning process.

When I feel comfortable undertaking a larger project in a new language I will often add additional scripts as I come across concepts or libraries that I didn't encounter whilst learning. It also serves as a useful 'cheat-sheet' to refer to when I need to recall 'how to create a 2D array in language X', 'can language Y pass-by-reference?', 'how to pass variable number of parameters in language Z', etc.

The full list of 'dump' repositories is as follows:

• C# - C#, WPF, .NET etc.
• Java - Java
• C - Classic C
• C++ - "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses." - Bjarne Stroustrup
• Rust - "most loved programming language" in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey every year since 2016, apparently
• Go - General purpose language created by Google
• Zig - Niche systems programming language
• Python - A general purpose programming language whose popularity is inversely proportional to the amount of thought that went into creating it
• Ruby - Ruby
• Processing - An educational programming language made for visual design - similar to, and compiles to, Java.
• Julia - A high-level (but fast) programming language for science and maths. Often touted as a replacement for MATLAB.
• Nim - A rarely used but fascinating language with a host of interesting programming features
• Perl - Perl
• Raku - Rebranded Perl 6
• Javascript - Everyone uses it, everyone hates it, and everyone keeps using it
• TypeScript - Javascript superset with an actual type-system
• Lisp - Common Lisp
• Clojure - A modern Lisp dialect
• Racket - ..and another Lisp dialect
• Scala - A functional language that runs on the JVM
• F# - The .NET functional programming language. Similar to ML.
• OCAML - Functional programming language. Again, similar to ML.
• Haskell - Pure functional programming language
• Erlang - Functional programming language from Ericsson
• Elixir - Functional programming language that runs on the Erlang VM
• R - Statistical programming language
• Prolog - Old and largely forgotten logic programming language
• SNOBOL - Very old language for string-orientated programming language
• PostScript - Stack-based page description language
