  • I am attempting this year's Advent of Code in Rust. I am using an AoC helper to run my code against puzzle input, which makes the process much easier, but I keep adding various crates to help me out with puzzles. For example, for day 5, I used regex to parse the input.

  • I don't remember exactly what I'm using, everything is reexported from an helper crate that I just import in every aoc repo I create. https://github.com/SkiFire13/adventofcode-helper-rs

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • chumsky

    Write expressive, high-performance parsers with ease.

  • I've discovered the lib chumsky a few weeks ago (https://github.com/zesterer/chumsky), it's a parser combinator crate, with a VERY nice API once you grok it!! I got the chance to try it for AoC, and it's really a joy to use :)
