# Advent of Code 2024 via OCalm

This repo contains my attempt at Advent of Code 2024 ()

> [!NOTE]

> I gave up on OCaml. In summary, what a horrible mess when trying to look

> at docs to learn how to use stuff. It's like when trying to use Emacs

> or NixOS for the first time, people online write "oh to get this thing

> working, just add this stanza to your moniker list, super simple" like

> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

>

> I just wanted to use some Regex on [day 3](https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/3)

> but I've spent so much time digging through docs and StackOverflow

> answers to try understand how to just *get a damn regex working!*

>

> In summary: OCaml needs to work on their onboarding and improve their

> docs before I ever try that language again.

> For now, this endevour can die in hell while I'm going to skip over to

> a different language.

>

> To not spend too much time thinking, I've decided to use my main

> language instead: Go
