Rust

Learn Rust (for real this time), I abandoned it twice before.

✅❌ Yeah, not really. I did have a good run, but in the end I caved under an annoying little problem on one of my exercises.

SideProjects

finish at least one of those sideprojects, or if not finish at least release it in a usable state.

✅ OMG did't I do just that? YES!

I finished (and use them daily) 3 of them:

Ntrallazzu: a cli tool to manage your sideproject folders, this one I even rewrote it twice, and converted to Typescript.
Kiffari/kato: a notion clone meets obsidian but selfhosted and can do jira-like project management. This one is my first seriously big project written with Svelte and Go.
tinchi: a kind of little css generator for utilities, a mix of tailwind and shadcn.

Finish that Football manager game

finish that football manager game you have been working on for the last 10 years with all of the programming languages.

❌ Nah, I did not do it, in fact I rebooted it once again, after Avalonia/dotnet and Go/fyne (this last one being the further away I have even been), I just rebooted it once again as a browser game with bun/hono/solidjs just for fun fdsimweb.

Godot

finish the Godot4 course and try release a game after that.

❌ I had started really well, but sort of lost interest.

Learning/Expand Horizons

start to learn something new not tech related necessarily.

✅ I started learning Japanese. Mostly using Duolingo at first, then I bought and read quite a lot of Genki and Japanese from Zero.

then of course I had to do something programming-wise and made Nise no Tori(Fake Bird) (source), a little rip off of a few little games to learn Hiragana/Katakana.

I also got back into drawing (I was doing little comic books when I was 10-14), I am not ready to share
anything though :D.

Overall not too bad I would say.

OMG it's 2025 now

I think one of the best thing that made me go through with some of those resolutions last year was the sheer volume of them, it kept things fresh and made me bore less.

So I am going to create a new list for next year and save it in here so I can always come back and look to see how I am doing, also I will add little steps so I can kind of track progress and achievements for the main goal.

Become proficient in Rust.

Finish again The Book.
Finish again the rustlings.
Make a Game in Rust with this, as suggested to me by the creator of that guide here .
Rewrite Muscurdi - Password Manager in Rust with iced, dioxus and/or tauri
Release a little cli tool (maybe a hygen templates parser) in Rust.

Game Programming

Finish that Godot4 course.
Finish that little 2d shooter in Godot.
Finish fdSimWeb and see whether is a good idea.
Finish Sokkera (a little turn based soccer/football game).
Rewrite Ammishka, a little WS turn based game framework, in typescript (maybe using deno instead of bun).

Side Projects

Write a little Mobile Client for Kato/Kiffari (either react native or kotlin).
Little Web interface to publish/read comic books on a static hosting provider.

Learning

Finish at lease one of those courses on Blender you own.
Study Statistics, and Applied Statistics.
Continue Studying Japanese with the aim to be able to watch some anime without subtitles.
Learn a bit of Korean, at least the alphabet and the writing system.
Learn and use Neovim.
Finish a drawing class/course and start to publish some comic books/comic strips somewhere.

God that is loads, let's see what will happen.

I will keep it up to date as the year goes, so next year I do not need to go around the world looking for this post.
