During this week's Data Science team CPD session I realised that a bit of old R code I wrote could be streamlined, and the base R to Python Polars comparison continued.

Joe Marshall started a blog post series about solving the 2024 Advent of Code problems in Common Lisp. Why now? Some of his motivations:

"I wanted to take my time and focus on code quality rather than on how fast I can write it."

[...]

"I want to show how to effectively use the rich set of Common Lisp library functions to write concise, readable, and efficient code."

Late to the #aoc2024 party. Will try to solve the puzzles in #rust.
I'm going to start solving Advent of Code 2024 in #Funciton. Day 1 puzzle 1 is already live: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9Kegyt7xNVQ #aoc2024 #adventofcode #esolang #esolangs

Want to (at least) end up with all part1s done. (Not unexpectedly) Day21 is giving me heart-burn. Com’on Roland … you can do it … #scala #aoc2024

Oh wow, made it! Thanks to #AoC2024 I finally - FINALLY - learned enough to implement a working version of the A* algorithm! Maybe it's nbd for you, but on this side of the fence, it was quite big thing!
