December Diversions: ColdFusion, Groovy, Lua, Vimscript & Wren
For December, as part of #12in23, we're looking at Exercism's final five languages: Cold Fusion, Groovy, Lua, Vimscript & Wren. They're five very different languages used for different purposes, but hopefully that means there's something here for everyone!
As normal in the series, Erik gives us a intro to what makes the languages special and unique, and try to help you decide which one to try this month!
