Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

I don't need something practical. I just need something fun to keep me motivated.

I had the most fun learning Haskell. Mostly because it was so different from the languages that I knew. Also, learning Lean was fun. But I guess that's kinda niche since it's not very relevant for anything but pure mathematics.

Haskell has come up a lot in this thread. Definitely seems worth giving a look at some point
