    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'm the same, I don't do enough coding now to solve the problems after the 1st few days without spending significant amounts of time on it.

        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.
