If so what language will you be using/learning
I’m planning on learning either elixir or gleam right now.
If you have no idea what I am talking about. Advent of Code is a yearly coding puzzle that is done by Eric Wastl since December of 2015.

I did the vast majority of last year’s in Rust minus the handful of times the borrow checker made something frustrating and I noped back over to C# (or the one time I used the equation solving library and had to hack it together with Python since the Rust bindings were temperamental). I’ll probably do Rust again this year.
Rust has a lot going for it, I really want to like it and I did mostly enjoy the time I spent with it, but the borrow checker does get frustrating when trying to do some things that would take me like 30 seconds in C.
We had a phd student who was doing rust research write some code and he did stuff with the borrow checker that makes my brain hurt. Like a macro having a signature of a 3 tuple of variables with different lifetimes
Yep, that sounds about right, lol. Rust's macros alone are a whole can of worms that I don't even want to bother opening right now.
Yep that was my experience trying to use Rust as well
