@bjorng: right, a natural fit, all the gore of the bit stream fiddling is excellently handled by Elixir! Solution in under 60 lines:

Finally a puzzle perfectly suited for BEAM languages! :grinning:

Since I wasn’t feeling comfortable with bit-streams due to being new to this whole elixir thing, I just converted everything to a giant list of 1s and 0s and then did the parsing of that. Even that felt very easy to do in elixir somehow.

anyhow here’s the code: aoc/2021/day-16.ex at 880e2934416746d18d262a09946330ce36c9ee23 · ramuuns/aoc · GitHub
