Happy December! :christmas_tree:

Is anyone here using Elixir for the 2018 Advent Of Code? I just finished the day 1 challenge and found using a functional language to be a great fit for the problem. You can see my solutions here: https://github.com/connorlay/advent_of_code_2018

Cheers!

Even though I didn’t plan on doing AoC this year, after solving one task I got hooked :slight_smile:
Based on the experience from the past year, I decided to consolidate my solutions into a single mix project. This allowed me to extract some common helper (e.g. Enum helpers), which helped me clean up the code of the actual solutions, and make it a bit more expressive (e.g. see my take on day 1)
