I did mine in common lisp and Racket this year as a way to learn these languages. Plowing through the problems in a new language is a great way to learn. I also used chatGPT as a tutor.

I'm planning on using 10 languages to retrospectively solve all the previous years' questions:

  1. Python
  2. Rust
  3. Go
  4. Typescript
  5. Kotlin
  6. Lua
  7. Elixir
  8. Haskell
  9. Zig
  10. Ruby

I use a different language every year, as a way of learning that language. So far I've used Elixir, Typescript, Rust, and Clojure.

I typically use Python and PowerShell, mainly as a shameless excuse to write more Python and PowerShell

How was your experience with PowerShell? Do you manage to solve all days in it, or for some tasks it is really a bad choice?
