- Ivan Kazmenko (12/12) Dec 01 2022 Hey, are you doing Advent of Code this year?
- Steven Schveighoffer (5/17) Dec 01 2022 I will try it, if I can find the time... I started last years (after it
- Siarhei Siamashka (9/28) Dec 03 2022 Thanks for the link. BTW, just noticed the following
- ichneumwn (7/10) Dec 04 2022 Don't be, the top people are more-or-less professional code
- Azi Hassan (4/17) Dec 06 2022 I'm in. I'll be doing them exclusively in D this year, at least
- FeepingCreature (3/16) Dec 08 2022 I'm doing Advent of Code '22 in Neat!
Hey, are you doing Advent of Code this year? https://adventofcode.com/2022 It's 25 days, one programming problem in two parts, each day. Common motivations are: * use it to learn something new (language, programming paradigm, ...) * compete for being the first 100 to solve * just have fun Didn't see any D solutions posted for the first day, posted mine: (spoiler warning if you plan to take part!) https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/z9ezjb/comment/iyhhmuf Ivan Kazmenko.

BTW, just noticed the following advertisement randomly showing up on the adventofcode website:Our [sponsors](https://adventofcode.com/2022/sponsors) help make Advent of Code possible: [Kotlin by JetBrains](https://kotlinlang.org/) - Trees, lists, packages - it's Advent of Code time! Get ready to solve puzzles in Kotlin. Watch us livestream our discussions about the solutions for the first few puzzles, join our leaderboard, win prizes. Happy holidays!Kotlin people are using this event to promote their language. So indeed, posting D solutions on reddit may be useful. As an alternative to Kotlin/Rust/Python. Also "being the first 100 to solve" is really difficult when there are more than 168K participants. Scoring 0 points every day is a bit demotivating.

If you stick with the competition, you will see the percentage of people solving a particular puzzle drop. Although that will be partially due to puzzle-tiredness rather than ability.
