Wren VS adventofcode

For a moment I thought it was about wren programming language... [1]

For "W" you could use Wren.

Bob Nystrom also has a blog, and his articles are really well written (see his post on Pratt parsers / garbage collectors). I'd also recommend going through the source code for Wren, it shares a lot of code with Lox. Despite the deceptive simplicity of the implementation, it (like Lox) is incredibly fast - it's a great way to learn how to build production grade compilers in general.

Only kind of unrelated ... Every time I see the Bevy logo I'm reminded of Wren language https://wren.io/

If you want a pure C99 (sadly not C89 like Lua) immensely fast embeddable language pure interpreter, wren is a great language with excellent features like overload by arity. There is a huge maturity gap between the languages tho.

Check out the source to Wren: https://wren.io. It’s from the author of Crafting Interpreters and builds directly on what’s discussed in the book (essentially a more complete Lox) and adds several additional types, including an array.

The best C code I have ever read is that of wren.

Python day 17 solution (GitHub). Not the fewest lines of code, but used dataclasses and modular functions to try improve readability -- I got very confused with keeping track of indices of velocities vs coordinates in other people's posted solutions. I find dataclasses in Python can be a great way to be descriptive about the quantities you are iterating

Python day 15 solution (GitHub) using Networkx for graph algorithm and Numpy for building the bigger grid. Solutions to other days available in this repo

Python day 14 solution (GitHub). Tried splitting out the logic into individual functions to aid readability.

Python day 13 solutions (GitHub). Using Dataclasses to improve readability

Python solution (GitHub) using Gauss formula for part 2

Python solution using deque (GitHub). Much faster than my first attempt, lol

Python day 5 solutions using Bresenham's algorithm (Github)

Python solution day 4 OOP (GitHub). Probably not the fewest lines of code but uses dataclasses and OOP to manage the states of each bingo card

Python day 2 solution (GitHub)

Python day 1 solution (GitHub) using numpy's convolve function for sliding window calc
