"The night before Christmas, one of Santa's Elves calls you in a panic. 'The printer's broken! We can't print the Naughty or Nice List!' By the time you make it to sub-basement 17, there are only a few minutes until midnight. 'We have a big problem,' she says; 'there must be almost fifty bugs in this system, but nothing else can print The List....'"
Advent of Code 2017 has started! Here's this year's first coding puzzle: http://adventofcode.com/2017/day/1
I'm going to _try_ to do it in Rust but idk
woohoo got my 2 stars for the day, and did it using Rust! https://github.com/sts10/advent-of-code-2017/blob/master/day01-rust/src/main.rs
(Screenshotted: I also now have a handy textfile -> Vector standalone Rust function to re-use on later days.)
Anyone else try the Day 1 challenge? https://octodon.social/media/FTK2SRAnn5bWhqJH644
@zacanger awesome! I'm sure I'll drop back to Ruby, my comfort language, at some point...
Also, I just learned that some crazy folks challenge themselves to do each day in a DIFFERENT language, few of which I've heard of https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/7gu2ze/2017_25_more_languages_polyglot_aoc2017_a/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=hot&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=adventofcode
@schlink that's wild! i might venture into clojure or haskell if i feel brave, but definitely not that many langs (i don't even know that many)
oh yeah add two more stars to my rusty #AdventofCode tree y'all:

@schlink i did! but, i did it in JS (which i'm most familiar with) because i'm boring
