Yeah, even with explanations I'm not quite grasping what I'm supposed to get.

Javascript never fails to surprise. The good/bad news is there is more than one solution!

It's a JavaScript quirk, not necessarily something someone solving 8kyu katas (or those unfamiliar with JavaScript in general) would know about.

Okay. I reallly don't get this. Can someone explain?

There is already a github issue for Scala support, but there seems to be no updates on it since 2014 :(

Although Scala is also a number one for me, I believe language support is an extremely hot topic, subject for a heated discussion if not all-out flamewars :)

That's why some updates on:

• what is the progress on particular languages' support
• when can we expect new languages or at least what is the next language in line

would be very highly appreciated :)

Thanks for the great skill-training resource!
Tried a lot of similar ones and stopped on codewars. It's awesome.

The only thing, I miss a lot is - Scala in Kata section.
Do you plan to implement this? And if the answer is "Yes", can you tell me, how long do I need to wait? :D

Look at what you can do, not at how much time passed ;)

Thanks for that.

I'm going to take a crack at it when i get home and shoot for an hour. As this is whill be the first time I am using porotype declaration stuff outside codeacademy that will slow me down a bit.

Out of interest what kind of time ranges would you give this sort of thing for:

Complete Novice:
Beginner (couple of months):
Intermediate ( up to 1 years):
Seasoned user:
Master:

Consider it depends much on many factor, but being a beginner I think you could assess yourself among 30 to 60 mins for this one.

It would be good if there was a feature that recorded how long it took to complete a solution for each kata.

At the moment I am really slow because I am still learning but I am slowly speeding up.

It would be good if we had some measure of comparison for "professional standards".

I am new to programming and enjoy using these kata as practice for the concepts I am picking up.
How long does it take people to solve this kata. I realise I will speed up as I am more familiar with the material. But I would like some idea of the benchmark I should be shooting for.
I can't imagine in interview/ work scenario's i'd be given the amount of time it takes me.
