While learning #golang or #rust or whatnot would be cool, using a scripting language for #AdventOfCode is preferred, mainly so I don't have to compile to get my answer.
@nebyoolae For something simple like AoC, there would not be a noticeable compilation overhead, it’ll take maybe a second more vs launching the runtime or jit compilation of an interpreted language...
@tymwol Fair point. I did TypeScript one year, and it uses tsc, which takes a moment, but I have had some experience with powershell in the past, so I've got a minor headstart.
