My JuliaTutor Feature Wishlist

[TheCedarPrince]

Hey @caseykneale ,

Having messed around with JuliaTutor and having thought a lot about it, I have some ideas for where it could go. Here are some features which I think would be great for pedagogy and inspiring young Julians:

1. Dedicated basic learning modules
   • Hello World!
   • Strings (parsing, substrings, replacements, searching, concatenation, interpolation)
   • Control flows (if/else, do's, for, while, ternary statements, clamps)
   • Functions (function definitions, args, kwargs)
   • Types (performance improvements, explanations)
2. Julia Paradigm modules
   • Multiple dispatch
   • Strong equalities
   • Macros
   • OOP
3. "Your First PR" guide for contributing to Julia and beyond
   • Guide them to make their first PR
   • At end of core learning modules
   • PR to JuliaTutor to join Hall of Fame
   • Learn how to contribute
4. Guided programming exercises
   • Fill in the blank
   • Create function and see if you can get correct result
   • Spot the error
5. Mentee becomes mentor
   • Anyone who finishes JuliaTutor is then eligible to help others in JuliaTutor

Some packages that I think could help with this:

1. InteractiveErrors.jl
2. TerminalPager
3. REPLMaker.jl
4. Jet.jl
5. FZF.jl
6. Git.jl

This issue is meant to hopefully spring board development. Feel free to comment with more ideas/wishes.
