Thinking about doing Elixir.
I'm working on creating a TUI app for CLI text processing exercises.
Avoidance. Advent is not an event that resonates with me.

YMMV.

Like every year I will do the first days and abandon when it becomes too hard and time consuming.
I'm the same, I don't do enough coding now to solve the problems after the 1st few days without spending significant amounts of time on it.
I'll mix up a few different languages and I'll probably be taking it easy after the halfway mark, and looking up a lot of the solutions. Last year's was very tedious, the instructions get so contrived that just reading through them was a slog.
I wanna try to do it in Nim, and solve the problems at compile time for bonus points.
I'll either use Kotlin or something niche like Crystal or Nim.
