JavaScript solver Totto16 wrote a simple solution to this puzzle

Totto16

JavaScript solver Totto16's code for Part 1 was well-labeled and included some great utility methods like 'fillElements' - to turn an array of shape [a, '..', d] into [a, b, c, d] and combine - to merge and flatten arrays

Also, a near identical solution from another JavaScript solver Totto16

Also worth checking out this repo for solutions in any language: https://github.com/Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code

This is a good idea, but we already have (at least 1) established list that people are using: https://github.com/Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code

What was the most eloquent solution I found on Github and Youtube?

https://github.com/Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code Check out this repo for solutions for various languages. Consider adding yours to the C# part of the README

I find the above really elegant. It's correct, the special case for "0" is very explicit, and if you try a negative number, Elixir will simply be unable to match the given problem to a function definition (n < 0), which makes more sense than throwing "BadArgument" errors/exceptions.

If you really want to just solve problems, I advise sticking with Python, there's nothing wrong with it. Most languages also provide a lot of functional concepts, I'm sure Python is no exception (with some libraries). Be prepared that functional languages require you to think differently, but it is really fun to do things in a functional way!

Good luck!

I added my repo to Awesome AoC because the other two Dart solutions were not for all days. I'm not sure my code is the best example of Dart code! Is your code available? Maybe you could share it?
