And hey, Rust year was fun (it was also the IntCode year). I managed to solve all puzzles in Rust proper, but some days were painful. Let's just say that the borrow checker is going to be your friend and your worst enemy. I don't really compete for the leaderboards, though funnily enough my best leaderboard position was with Rust on Day 9 (which was one of the IntCode days, too).

To be fair, compared to other years, only Elixir (last year) was more frustrating to learn than Rust (such that it does look like the picture above, due to many prototypes and all visualisation code being written in Python). I used Kotlin in 2020 and did Go for 2018 (though I didn't participate in that one live). I'm using C# this year, and all of these were simple enough that I didn't need to spend more time learning how to do things than actually doing them.
What are some alternatives?
