Noulith: A new programming language currently used by the Advent of Code leader
I just checked the 2nd place[^0] person and they... also have their own programming language...[^1]
What's going on here? Are they just extra motivated to show off their languages? Is making your own programming language more common than I realized?

Designing a programming language to speedrun Advent of Code
> The title is clickbait. I did not design and implement a programming language for the sole or even primary purpose of leaderboarding on Advent of Code.
I did: https://github.com/lukechampine/slouch
"Find all ten-letter words that contain each of the letters A, B, and C exactly once and that have the ninth letter K"

Noulith: A new programming language currently used by the Advent of Code leader
Very cool. I also made a language specifically for AoC, with some similarities: https://github.com/lukechampine/slouch
Example of solving a (non-AoC) problem: https://youtu.be/i_zDbInYOpQ
One of my big takeaways is that the "IDE" plays a big role in how fast you can solve. Recomputing the expression on every keystroke seems a little insane, but the instant feedback you get is priceless.
What are some alternatives?
05AB1E - A concise stack-based golfing language
aoc - My Advent of Code solutions.
klongpy - High-Performance Klong array language with rich Python integration.
gale - Strongly-typed, minimal-ish, stack-based development at storm-force speed.
proton - Proton practical programming language
spet - an interpreter for a turing-complete programming language based on Spotify playlists

noulith - *slaps roof of [programming language]* this bad boy can fit so much [syntax sugar] into it
Folders - A language where the code is written with folders
IParse - IParse: an interpreting parser written in C++
