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?
Vyxal - A code-golfing language experience that has aspects of traditional programming languages - terse, elegant, readable.
klongpy - High-Performance Klong array language with rich Python integration.
IParse - IParse: an interpreting parser written in C++
proton - Proton practical programming language
