#AdventOfCode off to a good start! I don't stay up late to do them (because central time US, work and !young) but still plan to get through them this year. When work doesn't slow me down too much I do.
Just doing it in #Python this year - saves me time over doing it in Rust, and also I haven't been doing so much Python recently, so it's nice to get back to it for a bit. If I have extra time I'll probably go back and complete some in #Rust too, I'd like to build more proficiency there still, especially in the tricky algorithmic problems that come later.
@finity I’m gonna try #AdventOfCode in #Haskell this year. It’s a new language for me, so I’ll be slow. And I have a new job, so it’ll be mostly weekends.
After I do each problem, I love seeing how other people approached it.
@bwbeach nice! I tried doing it in Haskell a couple years ago and was really slow 😆 Still haven't gotten much further in Haskell, but it was certainly a learning experience.
This year I started a group at work to find other folks interested in #AdventOfCode. Partly to make myself more likely to finish, partly to share the fun, and partly to try to find a community I can raise up and leverage. This isn't the only way to find the other nerds, but it may be the most fun.
