What language(s) will you be using? Will you be trying anything different this year to usual?
I am planning to use Rust this year to refresh my knowledge after having not used it for six months or so. I’m contemplating doing some solution visualisation this year, as I’m always impressed by that when others do it - but very much time availability dependent.
I’m using rust. I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish all the days unlike last year.
I’m going to try to use both zig and gerbil. Usually i use clojure, so might fallback to that as well. I started doing puzzles from 2015 this week, and that’s been fun so far
Nobody doing python? It is my first time participating so I think I’ll try it out my strongest language first. I think if I were to try something else it would be Go, to brush up, or Typescript, which I’ve been wanting to learn but haven’t really had an application for, yet.
I’m doing Python! Decided to catch up with what’s new in Python itself and the ecosystem (e.g. poetry, pytype, etc.)
Nice. I’m a long time fan of poetry, but I’m trying out a couple new tools too. Been wanting to check out ruff to replace flake8. And mypy, cause I’ve never worked on a project that used a type checker, though there hasn’t really been much for it to do on the solutions I’ve hammered out so far.
I’m participating for the first time, using C.
I forgot about this until the 2nd, so I’m a bit behind but oh well.
(Also my day 1 solution is absolutely not optimised haha, especially when I read up to a whole line just to search for a string which is a maximum of 5 characters)
