All my Advent of Code repos:

Solutions

Task	Nim	Python	Racket	Comments (for Nim solutions)
Day 1: Report Repair	day01.nim	day01.py	day01.rkt	Small check `elif s[i] + s[j] < 2020:` makes the whole program ~4x faster.
Day 2: Password Philosophy	day02.nim	day02.py	day02.rkt	`scanf` useful as always.
Day 3: Toboggan Trajectory	day03.nim	day03.py	day03.rkt	Keeping it below 20 lines :)
Day 4: Passport Processing	day04.nim	day04.py	day04.rkt	Had a nasty early morning bug with `if not v.len == 9`. Argh.
Day 5: Binary Boarding	day05.nim	day05.py	day05.rkt	Traversing a sorted list is more efficient than looking for every number in unsorted one.

Day 11: Seating System	day11.nim			The ugliest and the slowest solution so far.
Day 12: Rain Risk	day12.nim	day12.py	day12.rkt	Using complex numbers is so o o o last Tuesday. No `Complex` this time.
Day 13: Shuttle Search	day13.nim	day13.py	day13.rkt	Yeah yeah, CRT, but it took me way too long to implement it correctly.
Day 14: Docking Data	day14.nim			Good luck trying to understand what's going on.
Day 15: Rambunctious Recitation	day15.nim			Boring.
Day 16: Ticket Translation	day16.nim			Naming is hard.
Day 17: Conway Cubes	day17.nim			Nobody notices your 9 nested for-loops if you hide them in a template.
Day 18: Operation Order	day18.nim			Template and streams make this one really elegant.
