Advent of Code

For the second year I’m taking part in the Advent of Code with friends and coworkers. I’m using Clojure again this year.

The Advent of Code is a story and series of puzzles released as 2 parts daily. There’s a community of people competing at various levels to complete the puzzles faster than others. I was keeping up fine for the first 7 days or so, but I eventually fell behind like many people. Fortunately, everyone can continue to work at our own pace. The puzzles from previous years continue to be available.

I’m happy to find that I’m having an easier time with Clojure this year, and I’m more easily able to use it to describe the algorithms instead of struggling with the language. I publish my code to Github.
