Same. I usually try to use it as the "real-world problem" I need for learning a new language. Is there anywhere that people have starter advice/ templates for various languages? I'd love to know

- install like this

- initialize a directory with this command

- here are the VSCode extensions (or whatever IDE) that are the bare minimum for the language

- here's the command for running tests


learnxinyminutes.com is a good resource that tries to cover the key syntax/paradigms for each language, I find it a helpful starting point to skim.
This is an area where LLMs can really help out: getting started with an unfamiliar language/IDE/ framework.
