Elixir ended up being a great choice last year. I contemplated using ocaml, sbcl, or guile this go round but ultimately decided to see how far I can get with awk. I'm feeling confident I can get by with awk using getline as needed, we'll see how long I endure... Best of luck to everyone!

Yes! I did two years in awk (https://github.com/tomberek/advent https://github.com/tomberek/advent) and loved the ability to dig in and truly grok the language. The performance wasn’t bad, but the multidimensional array support and ergonomics were…meh. I’m contemplating Elixir.
