You coded this on a phone, with a touchscreen keyboard? Not sure who is more impressive, you or the unicode wizard :D
I just ran this on a laptop - it worked (part one only) but took 4h28m21s so Nushell is not a language for AoC (or I just coded it very poorly).
I think once your runtime hits 4 hours, the minutes and seconds stop being relevant :D
Is it 4hrs of 100% CPU?
I’ll buy “better than default on screen keyboard”, but I doubt it’ll be better than a physical keyboard. Would be nice if there was a virtual keyboard that let you easily modify the layout. I keep hitting . instead of space on my phone.
Haha, thanks but we both know they’re #1 by a country mile. I think my phone’s now downclocking as it’s burning up and still hasn’t spat out an answer after two hours, so I technically haven’t completed it yet!
Edit: Calling it for now, I might figure out later why it’s so slow (there’s some easy but minor gains to be made but I’m guessing there’s some O(awful) going on that the input’s blown up)
