I haven't been doing #AdventOfCode the last two years because it felt like too much work just for puzzle solving. Now there's fewer days so it seems more feasible to reach the end while still in December!

And it's so refreshing to solve these in #AdaLanguage again (which I currently don't program in otherwise), and also to try out those neat Ada 2022 improvements.

So far there hasn't really been any day that required any obscure algorithm or where the solution has any appreciable runtime.

I haven't yet built a performance measurement into my runner. Using the shell's time command with a loop starting my runner for all six day's solutions so far comes out as 0.02 or 0.03 seconds, a bit to small to be meaningful.
