#adventOfCode day 2 in the bag. I usually make it to day 12 or so before my lack of formal CS training catches up with me. Using #Haskell as usual because #Python is just not as fun.

Also, I did in fact use a complete Parsec parser today because I know I will need it on future days and I wanted to knock the rust off those skills.

Working in #Python today because I don’t have the time or skill to rewrite a library in #Haskell. I just spent 15 minutes trying to ensure that replace() gives me a new string rather than modifying the original. I’m missing functional purity.
