Advent of Babashka

A project for doing Advent of Code using babashka and nbb.

To install babashka, check here. It is recommended to use version 1.0.167 or higher. To install nbb: npm install -g nbb@latest. Nbb 1.1.151 or higher is required.

The first puzzle is in src/aoc22/day01.cljc. You can execute part 1 in both bb and nbb using:

$ bb -x aoc22.day01/part-1 [...args]
$ nbb -x aoc22.day01/part-1 [...args]

Each solution can take parameters from the command line if necessary. Arguments are parsed using babashka.cli:

$ bb -x clojure.core/prn --flag --option 1
{:flag true, :option 1}

You can also use Clojure JVM with the same argument parsing:

clj -M:cli clojure.core/prn --flag --option 1
{:flag true, :option 1}

Generating stub for new day

To generate a stub for a new day, run:

$ bb new-day --year 22 --day 2

The --year currently defaults to 22.
