Having decided to try learning a bit about Nim using AoC2019, I joined the 
[private leaderboard](https://adventofcode.com/2018/leaderboard/private), but 
never expected to be in the top 10 (I'm at 5 now, `dougcurrie`). So, I'll list 
my repo now in case anyone searching for Nim Advent of Code solutions in the 
future looks here.

First year of AoC and first year of Nim too. Each part I usually take 2 hours 
so I need dedicate 4 hours each day to finish it.

Looking at other people code once I've done it is my favorite part. I've learn

Relatively new to nim but decided to have fun learning with this year's AoC 
(and practicing on previous years' for speed). This is probably filled with 
non-idiomatic and misc. bad practices.

My solutions:

[https://git.sr.ht/~reesmichael1/adventofcode](https://git.sr.ht/~reesmichael1/adventofcode)

And since it seemed like a shame to not use Nim's macros somewhere, I went 
ahead and built a simple runner that loads all of the solution files 
automagically at compile time! (I've only used macros a few times now, so if 
anyone knows of a better way to do what I've done, please let me know!)

I am hyped! Last year was the first time I tried nim. It was a pleasant 
experience so I'll do the same this year as well.

It has been inspiring to see the solutions from those of you who are good in 
nim and see the beautiful solutions to the puzzles.

Advent of Nim 2019 megathread

2019-11-25 Thread miran
This Sunday, December 1st, will mark the start of the fifth edition of [Advent 
of Code](https://adventofcode.com/).

Advent of Code is, to quote its author, _“a series of small programming puzzles 
for a variety of skill sets and skill levels in any programming language you 
like”_.

The rules of AoC are quite simple. Starting from December 1st until Christmas, 
every day at 5 a.m. UTC a new task is released. The tasks consist of two parts, 
where second part is revealed after you solve the first part, and it is a 
continuation and/or variation of the first part. You don’t submit your code, 
just the result of your calculation.

The participation in AoC is free (although, if you like it, consider 
[donating](https://adventofcode.com/2018/support)), all you need to do is log 
in with your Github, Google, Twitter, or Reddit account.

If you have never participated in AoC before or you want to prepare yourself 
for the start of the competition by solving some tasks, take a look at [the 
previous events](https://adventofcode.com/2019/events).

# Nim leaderboard

We are organizing the official Nim [private 
leaderboard](https://adventofcode.com/2018/leaderboard/private), where you can 
compete against other Nim users. To join the Nim leaderboard, all you have to 
do is use `40415-c732e66e` code in the previous link.

If you are one of 120 (!) people who have joined this leaderboard last year, 
there's no need to do it again — you're already in.

# Misc

You can use this thread to post links to your AoC repositories, share your 
solutions, ask for help, discuss the tasks, etc. but have in mind these things:

1\. **SPOILERS** : Try to keep this thread as spoiler-free as possible: 
[r/adventofcode subreddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/) will have 
megathreads for each day and you can post there as soon as the global 
leaderboard is populated (and that is veeery quickly) — we would like to 
encourage you to share your Nim solutions there and showcase the beauty of Nim.

2\. **ASKING FOR HELP** : Feel free to ask for help either here or on Nim 
IRC/Gitter/Discord channel if you have some Nim-related problem, but have in 
mind that your snippets might contain spoilers for other who haven't solved the 
task yet — not everybody will be able to solve the tasks at 5 a.m. UTC. 
Consider waiting at least couple of hours before asking for help (in that time, 
try it some more to see if you can solve it by yourself :)).

3\. **HAVE FUN** : This is mandatory!
