How is this going, if you have this must interest you must have always been a developer at heart! It's fun. With Thanksgiving and today (since we get the Friday after off), I've treated myself to this and actually playing some Everquest again (after a month's drought). I do enjoy creating [things.] Much of the enjoyment from teaching came from creating music with the kids. I can remember when I wrote my little scripts for creating Exchange Online users, there was much joy with experimenting, breaking, and triumph.

My grandpa was a teacher and got me programming when I was 8, so I can definitely see how that personality profile would fit. Something to check out is Crystal https://crystal-lang.org/ I have always liked Ruby and this just seems to be the next levelof that. Its fairly new but hundreds of contributors.

 Posting from Fedora 27 Cinnamon. Really liking this experience so far. And it's on an old Latitude D630...just to see if it would run it proper.

 Just made a breakfast tray and brought it to my wife, still in bed. The wonderful joys of the children being at grandma’s house for two nights.
