AoC 2023 Goals (self.adventofcode)

Does anyone have any goals they are hoping to achieve this year?

I'm planning to try and learn Raku but probably not use it as my primary solution language. I always prefer to do a secondary implementation in the new language so I'm not stuck on syntax and how to solve the problem.

As always my goal is to finish all the stars ✨🌟✨

Thanks, I’m not that familiar with Clojure, but I can read it okay. How fast did that run for you? I tried it in an online Clojure editor and it took more than 10 seconds for me, which from memory is comparable with my solution before I started hacking in some terrible shortcuts…

Running on my computer part 1 takes ~850ms and part 2 takes ~1300ms

Haha, I bit the bullet and installed Clojure… and Calva… and Leiningrad… and eventually got it to run locally. Looks like it's quite slow via the REPL, but I get similar times to you when I run it with plain old "clojure -M”. That looks like a nice REPL though. I might pick through your code a bit more and see if I can improve my solution before Sunday!

If you are interested I wrote an AoC helper last year for clojure. https://github.com/jjcomer/aoc-helper

I started with the idea of using babashka for everything, but I ran into some namespace issues.

That's probably going to be a bit much for me to get my head around any time soon, but it actually inspired me to complete the automation around my own solutions :-)
