Anyone doing advent of code and using nix to manage the projects? Well, I am! I think advent can be a great promotional time for nix because a lot of people are solving the exact same problem at the same time, and we get curious to see and run others’ solutions.
But the problem here is running the other solutions — it’s too much bother to do it, unless you have nix! I mean I’d love to run other people’s solutions in different language, but only if the cost is low, like running a flake from someone’s git repo.
So in that spirit, here’s my advent repo, powered by nix. The readme should be sufficient to get going. If anyone else is up for this, I’d love to run your solutions too!
