Man, this feels like a frustratingly good way to get back into Haskell, and on the cutting edge of GHC to boot…

Or should I take the plunge and do it in rust?

(If only I was unemployed and could do this in agda/idris/lean…)

I did 2016 in Haskell and 2018 in Rust. Haskell was kind of a pain since I had to do a ton of tail recursion. Rust would be a lot easier since it allows you to be imperative when you need to.

And I definitely only used a tiny subset of either language because I wanted to get the solution as quickly as possible.
