Kevin Hovsäter (Oct 31 2021 at 07:47): Kevin Hovsäter (Oct 31 2021 at 07:47):I took a stab at implementing List.map4. See https://github.com/rtfeldman/roc/pull/1853. While I managed to do an implementation my understanding is at best superficial. My work was heavily based upon the work that was done for List.map3 and I feel I have a gazillion questions regarding how all different parts are interconnected.
Would anyone be up for one or more pair programming sessions where we go over the changes in more detail?
I'd also like to do whatever I can on my own to deepen my understanding regarding the specific areas. I've already taken the Rust course by @Richard Feldman and I've rewritten some of my Ruby toy programs in Zig. I'm fully aware that learning both Rust and Zig will be a rather long journey, so I'm not trying to rush things, I think actively contributing to this project will help me "learn what I need" as I progress and I'm mainly putting my focus on Rust for now. Setting languages aside, compilers, codegen and LLVM is all a "black box" to me. Are there any resources or recommendations for those areas that I can look at?
I'm having so much fun at the moment! :smile:
