It's not my first choice, but it's gonna be TypeScript for me. I've got an interview for a primarily TS position coming up this week so would like to brush up on its quirks.

If the interview doesn't go well, then I'll probably switch to Go, though hehe. I've been really enjoying using it, but no one's ever paid me to do so.

Nix, because I hate myself. No, it is very much not made for this purpose. But it's possible to use if for this.

I've seen a couple people attempt this. Am very curious about how exactly that will be done. Although I'll have to say that i've seen far worse and/or more difficult submissions. People cook up absolutely insane code

True. I love how AoC is a hotbed for creative and/or insane ways of solving coding problems.
