1. Exercism and getting Euphoria known

So for the last few weeks I've been hanging out at Exercism which, according to its about page is, in part,
... an online platform designed to help you improve your coding skills through practice and mentorship. Exercism provides you with thousands of exercises spread across numerous language tracks. Once you start a language track you are presented with a core set of exercises to complete. Each one is a fun and interesting challenge designed to teach you a little more about the features of a language.
So they have some 50 languages on offer, along with a well thought-out workflow for adding new languages and for mentoring new programmers. I'm currently working my way through 12 languages (A.D.D. rules!) Some are new to me and some aren't.
What'd be really cool is for Euphoria to be one of those languages. Okay, so no one here has a ton of time and it'll take some months to get everything in place. But hey, it would raise the profile (or is it the spectre) of Euphoria and that would be a good thing.
Just a thought.
Bruce.

That is a fine idea. Do you have enough A.D.D to become a mentor?
Would it be possible to setup "just enough" Euphoria/Phix content to join Exercism? By "just enough" I'm thinking of teaching some sequence tricks and then referring students to this forum. Becoming a full time mentor is just too much of a commitment.
I still don't understand HOPL. The taxonomy is too fussy for my thinking.

I could probably come at being a mentor. I may one day become a maintainer (of COBOL).
The trouble is that I haven't done any Euphoria programming since about 2013. So if I'm going to mentor, I'd better get back into using it a bit more.
As for COBOL ...

Thanks!
Bruce has shown me the website https://exercism.io/about
and
Bhupen has shwn me the contents https://github.com/exercism/request-new-language-track/blob/master/README.md
so you do not have to sign into Exercism to try some problems.
You can find three solutions in the pastey.
