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.
The difficulty this year was all over the map. This was easier than Day 5. And Day 12. But there were a few tricky parts. I was very proud of myself that I used closures both in 12 and 13. A new idea for me and very handy. On to 2023-14 which I am told is very hard.
One side effect of banging your head against the wall with #adventofcode in #rstats is that when your job needs you to write a function to run 100 times on a data set with reproducible seed and store each run in a list, you're like, hey no problem.
