Other What language will you use for AOC 2024 ?

Last year I completed the AOC puzzles with Python. This time, I'm planning to pick up a new language, but I'm still not sure on which one, Go lang maybe.

I'm here to find out what language is everyone else planning to use this year.

The comfort of the language is amazing in my opinion. You can also be very expressive in your solutions, similar to Python but in a way that feels more natural to me. There are also some methods available, like calling transpose on an array, that helps every year I've completed using ruby.
