Last year I decided to do it in Rust, in order to learn Rust. I found out pretty quickly that you can't just jump from Java/Python/Haskell into Rust and expect to understand what's going on. This year I feel more prepared, so if time permits I'll make it right this time.
You gonna do Rust again?
Yep, I feel a bit more prepared now. I haven't had the time yet today, but from what I saw the first one shouldn't be too hard
