Excited for this year's version. I did last year's event in OCaml which was a challenging, yet very rewarding experience. Still trying to decide what language to use this year.
- jaaames 8y agoI'm going to do Rust.
- sten 8y agoGonna try using rust this year as well. I have no background in rust at all so I'm a bit excited for the extra experience of trying a new language.
- itsme24543 8y agogonna give Rust a try also
- fells 8y agoYes, Rust is my other option I'm leaning towards. In process of learning it by building a ray tracer, so doing Advent of Code would be another way to get more familiar with it.
- Tinyyy 8y agoInteresting choice. What made you want to learn Ocaml?
- fells 8y agoAlways had been fascinated with functional programming, but kept stumbling with Haskell. Discovered the Real World OCaml [0] book and was instantly hooked. Sadly haven't been able to use it much outside of last year's Advent of Code and a toy ray tracer. [0] https://dev.realworldocaml.org/ https://dev.realworldocaml.org/
- snake117 8y agoThis is my first year participating in AoC and I am going with Elixir. I think this will be a great experience as I can try solving the problem on my own and then watch Jose Valim's approach live on Twitch.
