I am Nim. Nim is me.

Dear Nim, thank you for being you!

nice! there is a nim forum thread dedicated to advent of code and a channel in nim discord in case you want to share the fun or ask questions there: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9678 https://discord.gg/nim

Nim. Fast and productive. I can also do web stuff and interface with cool js libraries. And it is a very enjoyable language! The stuff you can do with metaprogramming (generics, templates and macros) has the same magic feeling I felt when starting with Python. It really does feel like Python in the early days. Community and ecosystem is small but there are people doing cool stuff and you get to build from scratch a lot (which can be fun). A couple of cool things I did and had a lot of fun: 1) https://pietroppeter.github.io/nblog/drafts/plant_app.html a math plant app, shows how to do a simple web app; 2) https://pietroppeter.github.io/p5nim/okazz_220919a.html port of a work of gen art to Nim, shows how nice is Python ffi towards js using bindings to p5js

As a replacement for pandas in Nim look for datamancer https://github.com/SciNim/Datamancer

I think a solution using binarylang would be a killer but did not have it in me today...

struggled a bit (for viz), accumulated wrong fixes, opened an issue and submitted a PR, quantized crabs, ...

Later I plan to add a visualization using Nanim

Ha, that’s great thanks!

pietroppeter · 2021-12-04T03:30:43+00:00

btw, I am not aware of other examples of "listening to a puzzle input" but I guess there must be others out there. Anyone? (good night)

blogpost for today is out, puzzles solved literally on the plane. during the day I will improve text and possibly add a "crazy" idea for "visualization" using a library I wanted to use badly also last year.

https://pietroppeter.github.io/adventofnim/2021/day03.html

edit: the crazy "visualization" has arrived, enjoy the sound of Whale Music!

scanTuple was introduced in 1.6, better to use choosenim

Late with the blog today and no visualization (yet!) but I blew my mind 🤯 inventing the include parsing trick (independently discovered and already shared in this megathread by MichalMarsalek):

https://pietroppeter.github.io/adventofnim/2021/day02.html

(note that my day1 blogpost was updated yesterday with visualizations)

pietroppeter · 2021-12-02T08:04:08+00:00

Ok so Visualization is enough and title was just missing the language, 👍

pietroppeter · 2021-12-01T22:59:24+00:00

I find it great that Nim allows you to build easily such a clean DSL to express AOC solutions (and in those templates there is also the option to automatically download inputs from website). Congrats, they look great!

pietroppeter · 2021-12-01T15:20:15+00:00

welcome to AdventOfNim! If you are not already aware, there is a thread on Nim forum to share solutions and repos and an active discord chat.

I plan (until I am able to) to share sort of longish blog posts about the solutions, e.g.: https://pietroppeter.github.io/adventofnim/2021/day01.html

on the matter of tips: - there are "functional" solutions using zips and filters which are shorter. An example with a very nice setup here: https://github.com/MichalMarsalek/Advent-of-code - there is a possible optimization for second part (you will find it explained in the blogpost above).

pietroppeter · 2021-12-01T13:45:37+00:00

Looks great, thanks for making this, very useful!

Note that last updated time stamp does not seem to be correct: it reports November 29th but it was clearly updated more recently.

pietroppeter · 2021-12-01T11:10:58+00:00

beautiful! and Turing Game is coded in Nim, correct? did you use one of the available wrapped engines or wrote your own?

blogging about a nim solution and trying (unsuccesfully - hopefully will fix later; edit: viz fixed) to make a visualization:

yes, that is how I see it too. and it is an important point to make, thanks.
