## What it is
Lang Jam is a weekend coding jam inspired by game jams, where teams build a programming language around an announced theme in 48 hours. This repository is the community hub describing the event format, schedule, and links to past jam submissions.

## Use cases
- find a hackathon for building a programming language
- join a weekend coding jam with a team
- see past programming language jam submissions
- learn how a lang jam event works
- participate in a themed language design competition

## When to choose
- you want a fun, time-boxed event to build a toy programming language with a team
- you're looking for inspiration from past community language projects

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready language tooling or a compiler framework
- you want a library or tool to include in your own project - this is an event hub, not software

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: programming-language, developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: coding-jam, hackathon, game-jam-style, community-event, weekend-project, community
