Learning Golang, because Hugo cannot generate pages from database content ( if you have online store with 100k items for sale, you need to have 100k markdown pages as source to generate 100k .html pages).

Wrote my own tool sql-export which reads database and generate markdown pages for Hugo very quickly (50k+ pages in ~10 seconds). This is my second project in Go, so it's probably ugly (and I'am glad to hear any feedback, any remarks and critique and recommendations). But it works! :-)

I have to say, Go is very fast. So, if I need something with high performance, I'd choose Go. But it's little painful to write in Go after Python. Go is new C. Sometimes very simple things takes lot of time to implement it in Go. Python is better in everything (at least for me), but Python program eats more RAM/CPU and works slower.

I'd recommend checking out Eleventy. Here's a example using Ghost as a headless CMS, but I'm sure you could easily create a plugin that did the same but with SQL, if it doesn't already exist. github.com/TryGhost/eleventy-start...

Learning more about Python community to show my work with socketify.py, it maybe the fastest web framework for Python and PyPy.

We got about 770k req/s with the current version vs 582k from japronto using TechEmPower plaintext benchmarks and we still can get at least 30% or more performance once fully integrated with libuv + asyncio.

I'm starting with Next because I'm looking at it as something of a prerequisite to solid-start. Not from a technical standpoint, but from the standpoint of industry standards, popularity, hire-ability, and the like. Also because I already know react to an extent, but solid paradigms are slightly different.

Learning Next.js, next-auth, postgres, websockets (or maybe just pusher), and Typescript by building a rudimentary battler app off PokeAPI. I'm super green to this, and I'm hitting roadblocks every 10 minutes, so we'll see how it goes. I think I'll try to clone it in Solid Start after, but one step at a time. And I'm trying not to use video tutorials, and mostly go off docs, but I'm still learning how to be good at that too....

It's a process! I'm learning TS right now. Hoping to have a blog post about it next week! I've used websockets with deepgram live transcription. My knowledge is limited, but if I can help in some way, let me know.

Reading The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup.

It's C++11 but still very topical.

Want to learn how to send packet length through TCP stream in Rust. It's quite complicated imo.

I don't know any Rust, so definitely sounds complicated to me!

I am following the CS50x course by Harvard, thus I would be doing some SQLite and if I get time to spare, then may also start with Flask, which marks the end of the course.

This week I plan to sit down and learn Async/Await in Swift because I've been lapse in staying up with it. I'm sure it will help me improve more of my code than I dare look at :)
