For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in languages. Not only spoken language (I once was a Korean linguist in the military), but also programming languages.
At work
As a full-stack engineer, I often took the liberty of seeing a feature completed from front to back, especially as I was part of a very small team at my last job. On any given day, you would have found my writing any of the following:
- python
- JavaScript
- Typescript
- shell
- SQL
- HTML
- CSS
At Home
As I dive into my own personal projects, I’ve been able to branch out a bit. As the nature of my projects change, so to do some of the languages I find myself working in:
- Haskell
- SQL
- C
- Typescript
- HTML
- CSS
Given that I’ve wanted to document my progress, it was very important to me to have a blog that supported syntax highlighting for multiple languages. After adding a few styles to the base template, I am pretty happy with the results. I added line numbers and some line highlighting myself. The only thing missing is a copy-to-clipboard button, which I think I’ll add later as I write more code.
For now, enjoy several versions of “Hello, World!” that shouldn’t be run in production:
Haskell
module Main where
import System.Environment (getArgs)
import Text.Printf (printf)
main :: IO ()
main = do
(name:_) <- getArgs
printf "Hello, %s\n" nameC
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *name = argv[1];
printf("Hello, %s\n", name);
return 0;
}Python
import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
name = sys.argv[1]
print(f"Hello, {name}")TypeScript
// compile with --lib ESNext
const name: string = process.argv[2]
console.log(`Hello, ${name}`);
