Progrmaming Skill but nothing to code?

I learned so much programming and good pretty good at it when I was a teen. I'm 23 now and I don't have any friends or projects. I think some kind of virtual world would be nice but I know there's no point in making it because nobody would join. I guess I'm just lonely and lost. What should I do?

I was reading these things coming from the past, but today it's nearly the same thing... even our lab work is still done in C++. My previous attemps with Go and D failed badly!
