Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I’m thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time
I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

Python. I don’t have much fun in that language and I figure maybe doing AoC will help delete the mental barrier of “Python make sad” and also get me to learn more about it, so if it still makes me unhappy at least it won’t be an “I have very little understanding of what I am doing” unhappy.
I don’t entirely know why, but it’s difficult to enjoy programming in python, even if you enjoy the end product. Something about it’s design, which usually forces you to do things imperatively or reach for a library, it’s position as mainly a glue language, it’s philosophy of “there should only be one way to do it”. They’re practical philosophies, but not very fun
You might have put into a words a suspicion I’ve had for a long time. I don’t know if this is completely the case for me. But yes, Python most of the times doesn’t spark joy
