I do them in Elixir and I find it to be a great language for this kind of thing.

I'm not a very sophisticated Elixir programmer, but I think my solutions are decent enough (and readable, for the most part!). I have a repo which has solutions for quite a few of the puzzles, along with some nifty little mix tasks to help set up a skeleton for each day's puzzle and automatically fetch the input file.

Elixir is great for this, especially with Livebook (https://livebook.dev/) and kino_aoc (https://github.com/ljgago/kino_aoc).


Ah, Kino looks awesome, that's exactly the kind of automation I set up in my own repo. I slightly prefer my own way because it lets me do the dev locally, but that is still a totally sweet setup!
