LIVE Programming a Web Crawler w/ Kotlin – Programming Polyglot #000

Today, I am starting a new series on this channel: Programming Polyglot – this is the first test-run episode! It is going to be a live coding series with the underlying concept that I'm going to implement essentially the same application, a functional web crawler, with a different programming language in each episode that is more or less unknown to me beforehand. Thus, I will explore each language together with you, the audience!

Nice project ! I had a good laugh at the end. The branching factor at each page was huge.
