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!)

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.
