slouch VS noulith

> 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"

  :load wordlist wordlist.txt

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.

[LANGUAGE: noulith] fork

You might like noulith, a hobby language written by the person who won several of the recent Advent of Code events.

The about on GitHub reads "slaps roof of [programming language]* this bad boy can fit so much [syntax sugar] into it."

They even used the language in the most recent event Advent of Code and won. https://github.com/betaveros/noulith

noulith is an interesting and elegant language for coding competitions. It's not really general purpose but has some ideas that could filter into general purpose languages.

Thanks for a great competition. I found another community I greatly enjoy to a be part of. Thank you Eric for a great place to be you created. Thanks to all the crazy people participating in this. I expected it to be competitive, but the reality goes over any limit. I learned a lot from the solutions of others.

my face when someone makes a language optimized for advent of code

I think you are talking about betaveros right? If you check his github, he has a repo talking about it noulith. As I understood, it's a language he developped, that uses Rust compilor.
