Announcement: recently added and updated languages

hobovsky commented 3 years ago

From this blog post: https://blog.codewars.com/2021/updates-from-the-past-year/#new-languages

We've added support for the following languages: Prolog, CFML, COBOL, Lean, Haxe, CommonLisp, Perl, Raku, and Pascal.

[...] Many of the existing languages were also updated to newer versions. More details will be provided in a dedicated post.

Create a post which lists added languages and updates with the potentially biggest impact:

changes in APIs and testing frameworks, or changes visible directly to users, like finally fixed, annoying issue in Snowhouse
the fact that some kata do not work anymore and need to be updated (links to lists), encourage users to fix them
encourage users to provide new content for beta languages
credit users who helped setting up the runner

Maybe the previous post on the topic: https://blog.codewars.com/2019/new-languages/ could be used for inspiration?

@kazk it would be nice to have a list of recently updated languages, I guess it can be extracted from the runner board? How far back should it go? I think not all updates have to be listed, just ones with the biggest impact on authors.
