Is Advent of code used mainly for learning new languages? I find it very different from Topcoder style questions. I tried 3 puzzles and part1 and part2 in each question makes this a good test of how to design code in order to make it extensible for future changes. Can someone who has done Advent of code in the past confirm if learning new languages and making your code extensible are the primary objective of AoC questions?
