Yeah, I think so, just need this code: 3316962-6587d422
Let me know if that works or not?
That worked - thanks 😊

This is the perfect opportunity for me to finally learn COBOL!
I wasn't able to complete last year's AoC as I am 10+ hours ahead and I am a bit daft. Hoping to do this year's AoC in a new language so I can practice. Thinking Zig, Golang or Rust.
Awesome! Glad it's active!
It is a very seasonal community :D
I run our AoC channel at work, and also reactivated it this week after a year of inactivity :).
I would love to learn a new language, but I'll probably just do it in Rust again, because I so rarely get to program in Rust :).
How did it work in your work place? Did you get some kind of training budget to spend on the challenges?
Alas, no. We just have a Slack channel, and I think that work generally just slows down a bit in December, so people have a bit of time to work on AoC.
Yay, it's that time of year again!
Don't know how often I'll be able to compete for time this year, but I'll give it a go.
Thx for the heads-up, I kinda forgot. After my hard-mode adventure in Haskell and my woefully under prepared Rust attempts, maybe it's time to pick something safer. I'll probably go with Julia this time around, give it a proper test.
I guess I can try this again in G'MIC.
