I've never been able to bring myself to try #AdventOfCode but this year feels different. Do you reach for a familiar language or use it as a chance to try something new?#Ruby #Python #Golang #Rust

@zrail I try to be polyglot, to know as many languages as possible. My usual approach at other people's challenges is to use the most obscure language that suits the job. You know, just to spark curiousity.

@zrail I had rather thought of APL, but Brainfuck is a funny idea as well. At least you can solve the problems with one hand.

@tux0r APL sounds interestinf. I actually think I might try Rust. I've heard a lot of things but haven't actually tried to do anything with it.

@zrail I learned Rust when it was the obvious choice. My "learn Rust by writing Rust" project has even received a few good reviews: https://code.rosaelefanten.org/yaydl

@zrail I'm here for questions. Maybe we'll both learn something.
