People are just really used to AoC's format and use languages/frameworks that are extremely concise
That is impressive, I think it took me more than 30 seconds to get the regex I wanted to use correct, more or less the rest of the solution. This is my first time doing AoC or anything like it so I wasn't expecting to be anywhere near the top, but the times I saw there were shocking.
There are a lot of people participating. Some of 'em are bound to be really really good, and also get lucky!
