Development process
This was the first hackathon I attended, knowing just a few things about basic programming. During the event’s presentation, a foreign participant asked the organizers if they could switch languages for their ease of understanding.
Once the presentation finished, we thought that it was a problem that someone couldn’t understand the language, so we decided to develop a tool that could help solve the problem. We decided to do it in Python, a language that we hadn’t really used but that was simple enough to not be a barrier.
Twenty-four hours later, we had developed a pip library that translated code into other languages. Even though it was slow and not very complex, it helped us win the Rookies Award, a prize to the best first-year participants in the event.Technologies used
