Yes, it's Advent of Code 2021 time again

But I thought you said it took up too much time and was too frustrating?

I did Advent of Code 2020 and found it… well, equal parts enjoyable and frustrating at the same time. Didn’t complete it in the alloted time but wasn’t too far off (a couple of days) and got my 50 stars. All my efforts are preseved in github

Inevitably, the lure of Avent of Code 2021 has proven more than my self-control to resist. As I write this I’ve done Day 1, slower than 25000 other people, but I’ve now done day 1 in 4 languages (Python, Javascript, Go and Rust). I expect as time goes by that’ll drop back to Python on it’s own again.

As with last year, I’m doing this for fun not bragging rights. I’ve recorded everything on github as before - isn’t pretty, it’s not idiomatic, but it does get the answer.
