Good to see you back here on KZbin. I really enjoy your F# live coding.

[@JoVanEyck]

Good to have you back! Are you solving the puzzles this year?

[@MrJimGiant]

​@@JoVanEyckI'm too busy at work, so your videos are my way to follow the event. No pressure ;-)

[@JoVanEyck]

No pressure 😅

I had totally forgotten that List.transpose exists and messily coded it by hand. Thank you for the reminder!

[@JoVanEyck]

Nice! I've seen people use List.unzip, that's another alternative for you!

[@Michal_Peterka]

Same here. I used transpose many times but this had only two colums so it did not get to my mind and I was maping it to int * int and then unziping.

[@000dr0g]

Thanks for doing these! Unlike previous years, I've forced myself to do the puzzle first, which makes watching your version even more valuable. List.transpose is cool!

[@JoVanEyck]

That's smart! Please do let me know if you come up with different solutions, I'm always interested in how other people tackle these problems.

[@Getrektinpeace]

Loving the videos. Will you be continuing with your Web Api series? im invested!

[@JoVanEyck]

Thank you! Yes, I'm planning to do that in 2025 once I've recovered from #adventofcode 😂

Rider seems nice. I installed it after the licencing change to free for non-commercial use. But I still spend more time in VS Code because I am lazy to set it properly and I am missing some hints provided by Ionide. BTW: do you prefer in part1 List.zip |> List map over just List.map2 because of readability or some other reason?

[@JoVanEyck]

For me personally rider is a step up from visualstudio, although I did not try F# in vscode all that much. RE map2: Not at all, I simply haven't used map2 enough to have it readily available in my head. Thanks for the tip!
