Good way to learn Rust, F#, Nim, Zig or Lisp!
or anything but those are all worth a look
- redrobein 5y agoGonna be giving APL/J a shot this year.
- bear8642 5y agoRemember seeing someone did videos last year exploring APL solutions. Not sure if doing again, but could be useful resource
- jodrellblank 5y agoJay Foad has done Advent of Code solutions in APL for previous years: https://github.com/jayfoad/aoc2020apl https://github.com/jayfoad/aoc2020apl He got onto the leaderboard for fastest solutions with APL, too.
- mlochbaum 5y agoThere are many sets of published solutions: see https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Advent_of_Code https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Advent_of_Code.
- fault1 5y agoI will be doing it w/ Zig and Julia this year, i'm redoing some Rust, python, and scala solutions from previous years
- kryptn 5y agoI did 2019 in Nim, and I'll be doing 2021 in Rust. 2020 I tried to go for speed though, so I went with python. Implementing Intcode in Nim for 2019 was really pretty fun
- the_only_law 5y agoI was going to do something fun, but gimmicky and try to implement them all in like SPL/2100 on an emulator running RTE, but quickly found I'd end up spending the month learning the latter. I've been trying to think I've something, else fun to do or maybe use a language I've been itching to try, like Ada, but based on the first question it seems it'd just be boring to so in a language like that. I can think of a ton of other gimmicky solutions, but none that are very fun.
