Geminiden sollen im Advent die Perseiden übertreffen" dadrunter steht: "Die Geminiden sorgen im Dezember für einen der reichsten Sternschnuppenströme des Jahres.

Die Geminiden sind vom 7. bis 17. Dezember aktiv, mit dem Höhepunkt am frühen Morgen des 14. Dezember.

Die beste Beobachtungsnacht ist die Nacht vom 13. auf den 14. Dezember, da der Mond erst gegen 2.30 Uhr aufgeht und kaum stört."

Once I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.

I stayed up far too long tonight for this one, but it was fun. Saw that we were dealing with an absolute metric ton of ranges at the very beginning so my initial thought was to reduce/merge those ranges and that's what I spent most of my time on before even tackling part 1.
It paid off tremendously and made solving everything very, very easy. There's still the Nim version to write, but I'll handle that after I get some sleep.

Content warning: Advent of Code Solution - Day 6 (Nim)

This one took a smidge more thought as I can't abuse `zip` to rotate 2D sequences. However, just rewrote the rotation as a proc and used that. Instead of `reduce`, it was all `foldl`, and I fought with `char` vs `string` due to some of the processing operations between the normal and cephalopod problem processing.
Overall, definitely a fun solve.

Grids are my bread and butter, but I am not confident in my handling of mutable grids on #Gleam. Luckily, I didn't need any.

Content warning: Advent of Code - Day 2 (Nim)

This solve felt more like #nim and less like me writing Python. More uses of `map` and `apply`, using `if/then` as a proper ternary, integer -> string conversions, etc. Also the `sugar` module makes me a happy person.
The day 2 solution in Nim:

Content warning: Advent of Code - Day 3 (Python)

Ooooo, I knew that my initial solution for Part 1 was going to get absolutely discarded for Part 2 (which inevitably came true). Lots of string sorting, grabbing an index, and a moving window to find the largest value.
Pretty proud of the solve, it's fast and it's all that janky.

Content warning: Advent of Code - Day 3 (Nim)

The #nim solution looks very similar to the Python one, but that works out well enough as the method works great on both. Didn't check to see if Nim had a `for/else` construction, but a friend threatened me with death if I tried.

I always love it when I make part 1 general enough that all I have to do for part 2 is change a parameter. #gleam

I am not sharing the solution because this year I am using #Gleam and I am far from efficient in it. Yet. :D
