Request for Uiua track

Exercism Support

I’d like to request the Uiua track to be created (I can create it myself, but I’d like other people to know).

Uiua is an interesting new language that supports both array programming and stack programming.

I have a working prototype of a test runner, which was quite easy to implement. They also have a nice VS Code plugin which helps with the (weird) symbols they use.

That might be the bit that pushes me towards that funky mess of j,k,apl like languages.

If you have some roadmap with features, I’d be happy to join the thrill.

This looks interesting. Is the plan for the online editor to have that same tray of symbols/ glyph for people to use?

This is also something I would love to see…

…would also help with Julia!

I don’t think so. That would a language-specific customization of the editor and we don’t do those.

So far I’ve had a ton of fun doing this! I highly recommend people to either help build or else try out the track when it’s live.

I’ve built a v1 test runner and added the tags. Right now I’m focusing on the exercises, and you’ve already been helping out with that. Thanks!

Hey @ErikSchierboom, did the bootstrap process run oudated script to generate/ get file from the configlet repo?

I made a fork of uiua to look around and then try to fetch the configlet but the ps1 script didnt work, so I thought I would try and pr it but it has been fixed for quite a long time ago.

This is the current fetch-configlet.ps1 script from uiua repo vs
the up to dated one right now here

Ah then I should be updating the generic-track repo. Sorry!
