Advent of Code 2019

As good as AoC is, I think this year I might try and develop the same program (or maybe solve a single one of the puzzles) each day in a different programming language. So one puzzle, 24 languages.. I sorta feel I'd learn more from that rather than sharpening the same knife over and over, perhaps.

Some knives needs more sharpening than others before they get useful.

For instance, coming from mostly TS/C# I'm not going to be productive in Rust over night.

24 exercises sounds about right to me.

For me AoC was perfect while learning a bit of Rust last year, but tread carefully if you want to have 2 mutable references to the same value like a circular or doubly linked list.

Good luck and have fun with it!

AoC is pretty likely to have a graph problem at some point that will give Rust newbies fits! But that will help you learn!
