This will be my first time participating, I'll be using Nim.

I'll also be using Nim this year!

[–] zarlin 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice! Have you used it before? I found it a long time ago, but never had a good opportunity to learn it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have! I think I started using it around this time last year after having started AOC2022 with golang and wanting to wade into other languages. Nim is super versatile and I've enjoyed using it for some toy applications.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to trying it out 🙂

Friendly tip as you go, the nim stdlib documentation is extensive albeit a bit hard to peruse. The index is your friend. And folks on the discord/forum are pretty helpful.

[–] zarlin 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much! I'll check out the index and discord/forums.

So far I'm having a lot of fun with Nim, the syntax is clean and readable, but it's very flexible and capable :)
