This project has been around for a couple of years, but this time I’m taking part in the Advent of Code for the first time. Every day there is a small programming puzzle (with two parts). I found today’s task pretty easy to implement, let’s see how it will be the next days.

And instead of getting slower with more features, Go gets faster with every new release.
