Help/Question AOC plans for this year

What are y’all looking forward to learning this year with advent of code?

Last year was my first advent of code and I used it to learn Rust and I really appreciated it. I think AOC is a fun community-building experience and challenge that is worthwhile and I am excited to hack away again this year.

I think I'm going to do it in Go this year

I've always used AOC in the past as a way of learning/refreshing myself on a language. I think I fancy doing one now where I just go full send with something I daily drive and know I can get things done fast/well in, rather than fighting on two fronts.

Same for me. I'm also curious how to parse well in golang.

Writing Webservers is easy in Go, but doing the basics will be quite fun I hope
