The past few months have been difficult, to say the least. If you are lucky, the toll it has taken has been manageable. Still it has been frightening to watch this pandemic unfold, and the ample free time to sit and think about it has not made it any easier. Personally I have found it helpful to spend some of the excessive free time I find myself with exploring.

While an entirely new language may seem daunting (we all need to keep enough of that free time for taking care of our selves and our minds), I have come up with a list of 5 things that are:

  1. Not painfully hard to learn (though they do vary on this front),
  2. Worth learning (in my opinion), and
  3. Topics you have most certainly heard much talk of, but perhaps haven’t sat down to toy around with, if work hasn’t given a reason to do so.

So now seems like the perfect time to pick one or more and dive in. With each topic, I will list several resources to help kick things off.
