Advent of Code 2020
Jeremy W. Sherman
This year's language is: Mercury, which is like a statically-typed Prolog with a focus on fast execution.

Building & Running
mmc drops a lot of stuff in the current directory unless you pass --use-subdirs, so you'll want to:
# fish syntax
cd build/
set -x DAY 1
mmc --use-subdirs ../src/day$DAY.m && ./day$DAY < ../input/day$DAY.txt
There's probably some clever way to automate this with Make, but, meh.
