I’ve been working with Nu since its unveiling yesterday. I find that the best way to learn a language is to implement something in it. Whenever I see a language with regular expression support, I want to port SmartyPants and Markdown. I worked a bit last night and today on porting SmartyPants. It’s not the most accurate translation (I took a few shortcuts), but it generally works. Please email bug reports to me.
