Overview
Exercism is a free, community-funded platform designed to help users develop fluency in 79 programming languages. It operates on a CLI-first principle, allowing developers to download and submit exercises directly from their terminals.

Exercism provides automated analysis on code submissions, offering quick feedback and improvement suggestions. The platform uniquely incorporates human mentoring, connecting learners with experienced mentors who provide insights into language-specific conventions and idiomatic code. This blended approach of learning, practice, automated feedback, and personalized mentoring accelerates the learning process and promotes deeper understanding.
