It's not my first choice, but it's gonna be TypeScript for me. I've got an interview for a primarily TS position coming up this week so would like to brush up on its quirks.

If the interview doesn't go well, then I'll probably switch to Go, though hehe. I've been really enjoying using it, but no one's ever paid me to do so.

I've got a really nice setup with benchmarks, auto-input-fetching and solution upload and such, written in Rust, so I'm sticking with that. I kinda wanted to try Odin, but december really snuck up on me, and I didn't have time to set it up or really get familiar with it.

Iterators and slicing and such are all just... so nice for parsing streams.
