Greetings. It’s that time of the year and Advent of Code is upon us!

For folks who never played one, here’s what it is, copied straight from their website by Eric Wastl:

Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, a speed contest, or to challenge each other.

Here are some advent of code themed posts we had in this forum.

We already have a leader board and the link is: Leaderboard - Advent of Code 2021 and entry code: 370884-a6a71927

There is a hard limit of 200 members per leaderboard and we are already at 149. In case it fills up we shall create a new one.

See you in 100 hours (Earlier if y’all wanna do warm-ups here!)

I will be doing some warm-ups and sharing them here. I have been almost exclusive to Elixir (and more recently, F#) to solve problems. However, this year I have slightly different goal, instead of using sequential Elixir, I would like to tackle them with OTP and might try my luck with Erlang and my new favourite: LFE. Here’s an example: advent_of_code/lib/2016/day_10 at master · code-shoily/advent_of_code · GitHub I might shave a lot of yaks, and ets and statems in the process :wink:

Would love to learn some Erlang from you!
