AoC2023

For starter it looks completely alien my real introduction to Ada was with this article comparing it to Rust on solving advent of code [1] but it gives me that feeling when I try to read Haskell code (not that extreme). I did not actually give it a real chance though but its user base even more niche than Rust so idk. It has really cool properties (being able to define n bit datatypes is nice) but it is also leans to more on the imperative side so that also does not interest me.

This was posted to about a day ago: https://github.com/johnperry-math/AoC2023/blob/master/More_D... But a noteworthy excerpt: ``` Ada programs tend to define types of the problem to be solved. The compiler then adapts the low-level type to match what is requested. Rust programs tend to rely on low-level types. That may not be clear, so two examples may help: Ada programmers prefer to specify integer types in terms of the ranges of values they may take and/or the precision of floating-point types in terms of digits. I ended up doing this at least once, where on Day 23 I specified a floating-point type in terms of the number of digits it should reproduce accurately: Digits 18. The compiler automatically chose the most appropriate machine type for that. Ada arrays don't have to start from 0, nor even do they have to be indexed by in
