Advent of Code solutions of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in Scala (by sim642)
Code on Github. My other blog posts.
This was a pain. I tried using vscode with calva, but gave up pretty soon after starting. Ended up using emacs with cider, which was pretty nice, but had a huge learning curve for me since I'm not an emacs user. (Maybe I am after this...)
2021 was the first year I participated in AdventOfCode, which is the worlds largest programming contest. I solved the 2021 puzzles in Haskell and Python. Doing AOC puzzles became a habit I enjoyed, so I couldn't stop on the 25th of december, and started solving the year 2015. I do AOC puzzles to improve my general problem solving skills, but they are also a convenient place to learn new programming languages! So obviously (if you read the title) I chose Clojure for the year 2015. In this post I'd like to summarize my thoughts on the language after solving all 25 problems using it.
