I typically use Python and PowerShell, mainly as a shameless excuse to write more Python and PowerShell

How was your experience with PowerShell? Do you manage to solve all days in it, or for some tasks it is really a bad choice?

[–] ArtVandelay 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In all honesty, power shell is absolutely not the right tool for every single day of the challenge. It was more of a" I know I shouldn't do this but can I?" type thing. And the answer was no lol. I had to revert to python for some things simply due to the vast nature of libraries that made certain tasks trivial

Yeah, every year on r/AoC there were several of those thing :D And PowesShell is the most normal among those :D
