Nim is an interesting language. Elixir looks amazing. Zig has some fantastic syntax patterns. Rust has blown up recently. Every few months a new language pops up, and with the adoption of LLM-assisted programming, I'm hoping we start seeing more usage of languages like these in professional settings.

I put together this project that lets you compare the same concept across multiple languages - like how do type annotations work in Typescript versus Zig, or how do lambdas or anonymous functions work in Nim versus Python, and so on. I've included Kotlin, Typescript, Zig, Nim, Elixir, Gleam, Python, Go, and Rust, but on the lookout for more languages.

I always learn better when I can compare something I want to know against something I already know.
