> why is this taking so many keystrokes? I used to Scheme a lot, and this was a significant part of how Python ended up beating it for regular work. This year I tackled AoC in my own pet new Scheme descendant which tries to fix this problem: https://github.com/darius/squeam https://github.com/darius/squeam -- I'll check in my solutions later today. Incidentally one thing I learned on Day 1 was that Chez Scheme's built-in hash function is not very good. Chez is generally awesome, so maybe it does work well in the context of Chez's built-in hashtable type, or something -- I didn't check. (My Squeam interpreter runs on top of Chez.)
