It will come in time, promise. I had a REALLY hard time understanding recursion until I started using it more

Something I've been trying to cultivate is the ability to "externalize" my thoughts (even if it's just to myself). Like, more of a process-oriented approach. it's so easy to bang out some code that works, but sometimes I look back at what I wrote and think "how did I wind up here"

What about some simple katas? I've been learning a few new languages and don't want to forget the syntax / common methods, so I pick an easy kata and solve it in each. I find that this is usually enough to prevent me from forgetting everything

As someone who picked up Raku without knowing anything about Perl (besides the fact that it had something to do with regex), it was a little surprising :)

OMG looks like Raku

I felt this 😢

I tend to always install both of them together too! Which makes it a little hard to know where things are coming from. This time I decided to start from scratch, so certain aspects of the config are still salient in my mind

Hmm, it didn't "just work" for me. I had to set it up recently:

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' 'r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'

That line needs to go in .zshrc. Maybe it's enabled by default with oh-my-zsh?
