Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I’m thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

    Seriously? This idea of always wanting to use the latest and best technology is a nightmare for those that come after you. I used to run an IT department where I literally had more languages/technologies that I had people to support them. You need two people to support each, for vacations etc so you do the math. It is a nightmare. Spare a thought for the poor support people and stick to Python or Node or whatever - even Perl…

      Indeed, you make an excellent point that Advent of Code solutions need to be maintained for years to come.
