Kotlin

A bit late to the party, but here you go.

import kotlin.math.abs

fun part1(input: String): Int {
    return solve(input, ::isSafe)
}

fun part2(input: String): Int {
    return solve(input, ::isDampSafe)
}

private fun solve(input: String, condition: (List<Int>) -> Boolean): Int {
    var safeCount = 0
    input.lines().forEach { line ->
        if (line.isNotBlank()) {
            val nums = line.split("\\s+".toRegex()).map { it.toInt() }
            safeCount += if (condition(nums)) 1 else 0
        }
    }
    return safeCount
}

private fun isSafe(list: List<Int>): Boolean {
    val safeDiffs = setOf(1, 2, 3)
    var incCount = 0
    var decCount = 0
    for (idx in 0..<list.lastIndex) {
        if (!safeDiffs.contains(abs(list[idx] - list[idx + 1]))) {
            return false
        }
        if (list[idx] <= list[idx + 1]) incCount++
        if (list[idx] >= list[idx + 1]) decCount++
    }
    return incCount == 0 || decCount == 0
}

private fun isDampSafe(list: List<Int>): Boolean {
    if (isSafe(list)) {
        return true
    } else {
        for (idx in 0..list.lastIndex) {
            val shortened = list.toMutableList()
            shortened.removeAt(idx)
            if (isSafe(shortened)) {
                return true
            }
        }
    }
    return false
}
