A long time ago, I bought the book “Seven Languages in Seven Weeks” by Bruce A. Tate. I’ve flipped through it, but until now, I hadn’t tried the self-study sections.

I’m tracking my progress in the SevenLangsInSevenWeeks GitHub repository.

Installing seven different compilers/interpreters can quickly clutter your system. For that reason, I wanted to test out devcontainer technology.

Currently, I’ve completed or am in the process of working on:

• Ruby (standard)
• IO (custom Dockerfile)

That means I’m still missing:

• Prolog
• Scala
• Erlang
• Clojure
• Haskell

Devcontainers

Use ‘Reopen in Container’ to start and experiment in the container.
