These are the languages I'm learning for my "Kareem Can Code!" project (#kareemcancode):
Bash, C, C++, Clojure, CSS, Emacs, Fortran, Go, Haskell, Java, Javascript, Julia, LateX, Mathematica, Matlab, Programming Language Theory, Python, R, SAS, Scala, SQL, Stata, Swift, VBA, Vim

The first language is going to be Julia starting on January 4th! 😄 I picked it by randomly shuffling the languages but I think my Julia-loving followers will be very happy with this outcome.
Here's an FAQ on the project. Follow me if you think it's a fun project and want to hear about my reactions to all the different languages!
I'll try to make it educational by sharing the TL;DR version of what to download and how to get started with each language and also the smallest program that runs.
Why are you doing this?
Fun! I want to explore what's out there. This project is an extremely nerdy version of doing something like visiting 25 different countries. I'm excited to explore and see where the project takes me!

Can you really do all that in a year?
I have 25 topics to focus on and 52 weeks in the year. I'm going to spend 2 weeks on each area of focus and see where I end up. I think that's enough time to get a sense. I'm not aiming for professional-level proficiency.

Why the name?
I think the project is going to be a lot of work so I thought it would be good if the name of the project could also be a mini pep talk to myself.

This project won't help you get a job.
Not everything has to lead to a job. Besides the majority of job opportunities will likely come from my day job which is being a statistician.
