Select featured exercises for Slimline September

Exercism
6

Does awk support nested arrays?

7

gawk does: Arrays of Arrays (The GNU Awk User’s Guide)

8

Ah, let’s try another exercise then (I’m not a fan of custom set, but let’s see if there is an alternative)

9

How about strain then? It’s array-related, and not as heavy as list-ops.

10

I like it. It feels very Slimline September-y

I’ve just re-ran the query and I think some changes need to be made, as the previous selection did not include any 8th exercise at all, which is unlikely to change I assume. Any objections to this list?

exercise 8th awk bash jq perl raku
gigasecond :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :x: :white_check_mark:
atbash-cipher :x: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :x: :white_check_mark:
darts :x: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :x: :white_check_mark:
luhn :white_check_mark: :x: :white_check_mark: :x: :x: :white_check_mark:
series :x: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :x: :x: :white_check_mark:

We then have at least two 8th exercises, and darts might be do-able to port. I think porting the five Raku exercises to Perl should also be relatively straightforward, is that correct @m-dango?

@axtens Would you have any time porting darts, atbash-ciper and/or series to 8th?

It would be great of people could help port exercises to have as many of them available. Please post here if you want to port an exercise.

As we’re filming soon, the above list is the definitive list. We have 6 days to add some of the missing implementations.

13

Well give it a shot. I think someone did the atbash a while ago and i didn’t get around to putting it up

Only darts needs porting, I think having perl instead of perl5 here meant the exercises weren’t picked up!

jq luhn has been merged.

8th atbash and series PRs are pending admin attention given CI failures.
