I’d recommend using F# maybe. Easier cross-platform story and well documented in the F# guide and reference.

Guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-ref...

Reference: https://fsharp.github.io/fsharp-core-docs/

Also you can use F# notebooks with .NET Interactive and the Polyglot Notebooks Visual Studio Code extension, which is great for something like Advent of Code.
