I did AoC in Nim one year and was very happy with it! I also became infatuated with Nim that year..

I also learned Nim in 2018 with AoC. I found one of the best things was coming up with my own solution, then looking at other people's solutions (the Nim community usually does Advent of Nim where a bunch of people post their solution repos on the nim forum) for more idiomatic approaches or stdlib functions I didn't know about.

Solutions made with https://github.com/zevv/npeg were surreal, I felt like a caveman watching a TV.

Yes, I do distinctly remember having that same feeling when reading zevv's solutions!
