Advent of Code 2024 via OCalm

This repo contains my attempt at Advent of Code 2024 (https://adventofcode.com/2024)

Note

I gave up on OCaml. In summary, what a horrible mess when trying to look at docs to learn how to use stuff. It's like when trying to use Emacs or NixOS for the first time, people online write "oh to get this thing working, just add this stanza to your moniker list, super simple" like WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

I just wanted to use some Regex on day 3 but I've spent so much time digging through docs and StackOverflow answers to try understand how to just get a damn regex working!

In summary: OCaml needs to work on their onboarding and improve their docs before I ever try that language again. For now, this endevour can die in hell while I'm going to skip over to a different language.

To not spend too much time thinking, I've decided to use my main language instead: Go https://github.com/applejag/adventofcode-2024-go

Running

Requires regular install of OCaml (v5.2.1+) with opam (v2.3.0+) and dune (v3.17.0+): https://ocaml.org/install

$ dune exec adventofcode -- --help
adventofcode <day>
  --file Input file inside the inputs/dayXX/ directory
  -help  Display this list of options
