Two Hundreds PWCs and Counting!

With the 278 Perl Weekly Challenge, I reached the two hundred solutions almost in a row. I started participating in the Weekly Challenge back in year 2020, and more precisely with the challenge number 43. Initially I did only Raku, then introduced PL/Perl to keep up to date with Perl (and PostgreSQL) also. Then I introduced PL/PgSQL, to keep in good shape in PostgreSQL pure implementation too. In the last year I added Python too, because nowdays I use such language in my day to day job. Last, I added PL/Java because I’m no more using Java on my day to day job and I want to keep used to it, too. This means that today, when I do a challenge, I produce two solutions in five different languages, hence producing 10 implementations. How much did I code so far? cloc reports a total of 1233 files, with 515 files in Perl/Raku, 244 in SQL, 51 in Java and 78 in Python, with other glue files 8e.g., Mavan configuration files). In particular, in terms of pure code, I’ve written 20961 lines of code (excluding comments)! Why are not all the challenges in a row? Well, in year 2020 I had four months where I was not able to see, so as you can guess, I was not at my keyboard. Moreover, there are holidays and particularly busy times, as in July 2023 when I changed my daily job. All the solutions are grouped on my personal repository.
