I haven't done much FP outside R & streams in Java + a few chapters in Real World OCaml and OCaml Programming. I've read a little about Ξ» calculus and love it--cool & incredibly mind bending (Church numerals are insane still) but that's exactly why I need to learn!
Iβll probably code the first ones in OCaml as every year.
Then, as I work in Ruby, mentor in Ruby and teach in Ruby, Iβll switch to be able to coach my team and my pupils about βthe OO wayβ and specific elements of the Ruby standard library.
And as every year Iβll be a bit sad about it. π
I usually try to do as many languages as quickly as I can, so I barely make it through the first few days. Maybe Iβll keep that trend up and add ocaml
Wanted to do it last year too but I painted myself into a corner by not getting the scaffolding figured out in time so I switched to Nim and Zig. Not gonna repeat the same mistake. I've noticed a lot of work went into the ecosystem and I'm super curious to see what's changed!
I'll definitely try, but the main goal this year is to participate in AoC at all. Though I've already come further than last year by creating an account π

but especially if you haven't, it's worth the struggle
We'll see how it goes on day 1 :)

Might solve some in Python or go first and then rewrite to ocaml π€·ββοΈ
