Eight Languages in Twenty-Eight Days - Learning in Parallel

in progress

Well, this bold title draws inspiration from Seven Languages in Seven Weeks (2010) and Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks (2014), two books that explore programming paradigms in the "Seven in Seven" series. Those books introduce languages one by one, or sequentially. This post, however, adopts a parallel approach, meaning that selected eight of the fourteen languages will be covered simultaneously at each stage of learning.

Μαθαίνοντας Ελληνικά - Μια Αναρρίχηση

in progress

Greek (Modern Greek: Ελληνικά, [eliniˈka]; Ancient Greek: Ἑλληνική) is an Indo-European language, constituting an independent Hellenic branch within the Indo-European language family. It has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning at least 3,400 years of written records.

Continued updating of this post is a long-term project, one that may span several years on my learning journey. The title, Μαθαίνοντας Ελληνικά - Μια Αναρρίχηση, means Learning Greek - A Climb. Of course, "Greek" refers specifically to modern Greek here, as distinct from Classical, Koine, or Medieval Greek.

Roam from LaTeX to Typst

in progress

Over the past 40 years, LaTeX has accumulated a vast ecosystem of programs and documentation, solidifying its position as the de facto standard for typesetting in academia and publishing. Few would dispute that it is a great project. However, while no system is without its flaws, could it be time to explore something new? Consider, for instance, the younger contender: Typst. That said, this post is intended for readers already familiar with LaTeX. If someone has never touched LaTeX or Typst and feels unsure where to begin, my advice is to start with LaTeX.
