The way it is now, gigasecond
has some problems:
- It is too easy and boring.
- All answers are almost the same:
fromDay = addUTCTime 1e9
- Does not match
exercism/x-common/gigasecond.json
.
Seems that, at least in other tracks, it can be interesting: #192 (comment)
In the Go track gigasecond is a fantastic exercise. People tackle it in so many different ways, and there are myriad opportunities to talk about idioms in the language and certain language features.
I think that if it can be turned into a more interesting exercise, then that's worth doing. If not, just deprecate it.
Edit: This exercise was changed in branch hspec-fail-fast
. Please use that branch for any PR related to it or wait until it's merged in master
