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.

Like every year I will do the first days and abandon when it becomes too hard and time consuming.

I'll either use Kotlin or something niche like Crystal or Nim.

I wanna try to do it in Nim, and solve the problems at compile time for bonus points.

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.
