## What it is
Exercism is a crowd-sourced code practice and mentorship platform where learners complete programming exercises and receive thoughtful feedback from volunteer mentors. This repository is now primarily an issue-triage hub pointing to the live website code and forum.

## Use cases
- practice programming exercises with mentor feedback
- learn a new programming language through guided challenges
- get code reviews from experienced developers
- improve my coding skills through community mentorship
- find free coding practice problems online

## When to choose
- you want structured programming exercises with human mentorship
- you are learning a new language and want feedback on your solutions
- you prefer community-driven, free learning resources

## When to avoid
- you need the actual platform source code, which lives in exercism/website
- you want a self-hostable solution from this repo, as it is no longer the active codebase
- you expect active development here, since issues are redirected to the forum

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: education, programming-languages, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: code-practice, mentorship, exercises, community, learning-platform, web-server
