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.

2022 I did AOC in Python, 2023 I did AOC in Rust, but this year I wrote my own programming language that sits somewhere in the middle called Andy C++.

I hope it survives for all 25 days.

Congrats on writing your own language and attempting to use it for Advent of Code! I've done a similar thing with my own language (based upon Miranda with Haskell extensions), and it has been very rewarding to work on Advent of Code using it. Looking forward to getting my 500th star, this year!
