"How did you spend your time off of work?"
If you're lucky enough to have a chunk of time when you don't need a job, you want to make it count.
Come learn how three Recuse Center alums chose to spend their time off.

This week, three people shared their handmade programming languages.
We learned not only about their features and syntax but the philosophies, joys, and challenges around building them. Could you build your own language? Should you? We dare say… yes!

At the Recurse Center, we encourage people to share their work at all stages of doneness.

Zulip screenshot of a message by Greg Sadetsky. An image of an arcade cabinet with various arrows pointing to different parts. Caption: "the spirit of RC in a single picture: a retrofit arcade cabinet with a secured logitech webcam, an rgb cat animation in rust running on a led panel, webgl settings on ubuntu being tweaked on a ~300px CRT display (miraculously driven by gpio pins on a pi), and instructions in chalk to install a bespoke npm sdk. i adore."
Possibly the best thing about being at the Recurse Center is watching this sort of beautiful, wild, communal, thingamajig pop up in the hub every day:
Nice handle @recurse.com
@recurse.com's local host last night was awesome. Great talks, wonderful company. Frederic Kettelhoit's Komucha lang (github.com/fkettelhoit/...) was particularly inspirational. Love me a lang with an effect system.
Today at 6:30pm, join us for a series of lightning talks on three bespoke programming languages: Felt, Tomo, and Kombucha!
Why make your own programming language? What unique goals, design decisions and sensibilities come into play?
