I hadn't heard about Chapel. This looks really neat!

I've put together a repository for you, and there's an issue with some documentation and links here: exercism/chapel#1

You should have an invite to the team that has write permissions on the repository. Once you get yourself situated feel free to ping me and @ErikSchierboom with questions.

WoW, this was very fast! Thanks! Looking forward to start working on this

Great! If you send me an email at erik at exercism.org, I'll link you to some additional resources.

Answer 4 · 2022-10-05T09:22:49.000Z

@ErikSchierboom I already sent you an email asking to be added to slack. If you have additional resources, I'd be very happy to receive those :)

btw, the markdown link here is not rendered properly

That's odd. The markdown in the source looks perfectly reasonable. I wonder if the parser didn't like the mailto: with the parameters.

I think it's the white space in the subject, the following works (at least testing on hackmd)

[erik@exercism.org](mailto:erik@exercism.org?subject=Exercism%20Slack%20Access%20Request)

Yes, of course. In retrospect that is perfectly obvious 😂 Thank you! I'll get that fixed now.
