The 2020 year has been hard almost for everyone due to the pandemic. My year was almost alright, but then my family also got infected with COVID-19 recently. However, we luckily fought through it and now we are safe.

I hope everyone's safe and I pray for those who are going through this tough time. Since I was always at home, I was over-productive this year as I had a lot of time to learn and make stuff. I believed that such an opportunity to improve will never come again, so I made the best use of it.

And as 2020 is about to end soon, these are the things I accomplished this year:

### Accomplished

- My Dev.to account articles have passed more than 100K views in less than one year of creation!
- I made small 5 projects and learned a lot of things and met a lot of people who helped me to implement those features! I would like to thank them very much ^-^
- My GoLang library: [`Box Cli Maker`](https://github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker) has 100+ stars in just 8 months!!
- [`V By Example`](https://github.com/v-community/v_by_example) has also 100+ stars :)
- I have done a total of 200 Pull Requests in my whole life.
- I have completed [`Hacktoberfest 2020`](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com) and I did around 7 PRs this time during October because I was busy that time with other things!
- I learnt more about [`V`](vlang.io])'s internal compiler and started to implement small features and fix bugs and issues slowly and step by step!
-  I had started taking part in discussions of [Python's Pattern Matching syntax](https://github.com/gvanrossum/patma) and was against the favour of using `_` for denoting `else` case in `match` syntax as it would be inconsistent and wouldn't make it Pythonic anymore. I tried giving some issues and I got [acknowledged](https://github.com/gvanrossum/patma/issues/89#issuecomment-649210954) from them. Though my proposal was rejected as I wasn't a part of them.
- I got some "job offers" but I feel those were scams so I rejected them as who can hire someone like that? I think it's still an achievement as people are coming to me xD
- I made a [`Github Profile README.md`](https://github.com/Delta456/Delta456) in such a unique style that others liked and copied it.
- Opened several issues in `Golang`, `V` and `Deno` etc.
- Became a collaborator of [`Bhupesh-V/30-seconds-of-cpp`](https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/30-seconds-of-cpp).
- Got 90+ followers on `GitHub`.
- My [proposal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8331) for [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) got accepted!

### Conclusion

I think this will be my last article for now as I have to study for the next 1.5 years for preparation! I hope you all liked this article and wish me to achieve more!!

I thank all of the people who I have met and taught me a lot of things, especially people from V Community!!

Happy New Year's Eve to All! I hope everyone achieves what they want to :)
