Recently got started with Nix and Home-Manager. I thought Advent Of Code would be a good way to get more comfortable with the Nix language.
I don’t think I ever made it beyond Day 6 though, even in my most comfortable language (Python) so no idea where this will strand.
I am learning a lot about Nix though!
Have you used the Nix language outside of configuration? Let’s share and discuss!
Somehow I completely missed that split can do match groups… Oopsie! I did it in Python today but I did make a completely functional (and way too complicated) algorithm.
Tap for spoiler
The way you handle the do and dont is much cleaner
.
@F04118F if i had known about match i probably would have gotten stuck also lol but luckily i used split once before and remembered it :) i made an issue in your github, hope thats ok, just to mention this in case you didnt see it on fedi!
