Is anyone else doing Advent Of Code in Nix? (github.com)

Recently got started with Nix and Home-Manager. I thought Advent Of Code would be a good way to get more comfortable with the Nix language.

I don't think I ever made it beyond Day 6 though, even in my most comfortable language (Python) so no idea where this will strand.

I am learning a lot about Nix though!

Have you used the Nix language outside of configuration? Let's share and discuss!

What's an advent of code? Interested if it will help me learn more!

Love the structure of your code. Exposing a part1 and part2 result from the same source file is a great idea
