> Many people (including myself) use these as an opportunity to try out learning a new language

I hadn't thought about that! I'll take this as an opportunity to learn Rust!




Checking back in - have you done it, is it going OK?

I can't do it when the puzzles come out (too late in UK) but I've really enjoyed Rust so far and I got my 10 stars so far.

Results are really nice, and match and enums etc. really make the language nice.

Rust really has taken many of the best parts of Python, functional paradigms, and lower level languages, and the compiler errors - being warned about missing branches in matches! I'm hoping that finishing 2019 with Rust will lead to more in 2020!


I'm doing the same thing this year!


Thanks to these comments, in spite of already having starting advent coding, I have begun learning basic Rust, have the stack and development environment set up and I'm looking forward to doing the first two days again in Rust...
