Here is my solution: https://github.com/fireduck64/adventofcode/blob/master/2015/07/src/Prob.java

Java 25/38 https://github.com/fireduck64/adventofcode/blob/master/2021/24/src/Prob.java This involved a recursive sweep through the model number space while memoizing on the current register values. Basically, after the model number parts are read they don't matter for the recursion so the only state is the register values and the execution line number. So the memoization was able to actually help. Although, to be honest my solution for part 1 only worked because the number was near where I started the search (9s on down) and the part 2 only worked because I guessed (correctly) that the first number was still a nine because I'm on to how much Eric likes to punish us. Execution time around 2 minutes.

I've done every year in Haskell (2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021), and so have several other people such as /u/glguy. I don't see if /u/mstksg has anything published for 2015 but they've done 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 along with some pretty good writeups, I recommend checking those out.

I ran my own benchmarks for a whole ton of code at https://github.com/ephemient/aoc2021 on both Linux x64 and macos x64, and ended up disabling Kotlin/Native because it was varying between 10x and 100x slower than Kotlin/JVM, eventually timing out on CI. The generated code may be reasonable thanks to LLVM, but the runtime certainly is not.

Took a while for me to get around to completing this in Kotlin, Python, and Rust as well, since I was working on optimizing other solutions, but I finally made it.

So I switched tacks and implemented this in Kotlin, where mutation is easier. First version was brute-force with duplicate state avoidance (checked before the state explosion at every input), which worked quickly enough for part 1, but ran into OOMs for part 2. Once I replaced the HashSet with a custom LruSet (and later a simpler CacheSet which simply overwrites on hash collisions) it ran part 2 in a few minutes. I then ported this into Haskell.

Kotlin, Python, and Rust solutions are the same solution but much uglier.

I'm doing the same cached recursion in Kotlin, Python, and Rust.
