Hey, are you doing Advent of Code this year?
https://adventofcode.com/2022

It's 25 days, one programming problem in two parts, each day.
Common motivations are:

  • use it to learn something new (language, programming paradigm, ...)
  • compete for being the first 100 to solve
  • just have fun

Didn't see any D solutions posted for the first day, posted mine:
(spoiler warning if you plan to take part!)

I will try it, if I can find the time... I started last years (after it was over), but never finished:

Thanks for the link. BTW, just noticed the following advertisement randomly showing up on the adventofcode website:

Our sponsors help make Advent of Code possible:

Kotlin by JetBrains - Trees, lists, packages - it's Advent of Code time! Get ready to solve puzzles in Kotlin. Watch us livestream our discussions about the solutions for the first few puzzles, join our leaderboard, win prizes. Happy holidays!

Kotlin people are using this event to promote their language. So indeed, posting D solutions on reddit may be useful. As an alternative to Kotlin/Rust/Python.

Also "being the first 100 to solve" is really difficult when there are more than 168K participants. Scoring 0 points every day is a bit demotivating.

Don't be, the top people are more-or-less professional code puzzle solvers. Ridiculously fast. If you stick with the competition, you will see the percentage of people solving a particular puzzle drop. Although that will be partially due to puzzle-tiredness rather than ability.

I'm in. I'll be doing them exclusively in D this year, at least the ones I can solve. Here's today's submission: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/zdw0u6/2022_day_6_solutions/iz3s9qf/
