The dhall survey has a ton of interesting feedback from users about why they use the language, what they use it for, and areas that need work. https://www.haskellforall.com/2020/02/dhall-survey-results-2019-2020.html
It's a really great way of learning what needs polish on the official website too!

My 3.5yo is learning to use a mouse, and it's super interesting.

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics.
It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
Spent a bunch of time learning about text diffing algorithms this evening.
"Myers Algorithm" refers to a specific paper written by Eugene Myers, and he published faster algorithms later!
