Self promotion, but as this is my first year doing advent of code I'm solving all of the problems using awk[1], the solutions will be published here[2]

I've used awk for one year of Advent of Code: https://github.com/bewuethr/advent-of-code/tree/master/2016

Some problems feel like they were designed to be solved in awk, like the assembly style ones. Others, not so much... But it was great fun overall and I learned a lot about awk.

With respect to the fact that 99% of my use of awk is done like this:

  > | awk '{print $<word>}'

The solution to the first exercise looks surprisingly clean. It will be interesting to see how they continue as the challenges get harder. Bookmarked!
