Each year I use (or at least try to use) different programming language
In addition, each year contains script for downloading input, that will also create folder with day number and put input file there
Note: you need cookie session token ("Cookie: session=COOKIE_SESSION_TOKEN") to download input (you can find it by going to "Network" tab in the Developer Tools in browser and inspecting one of requests after you log in to AoC page), put it in aoc_cookie.txt file
Note: the list (and order) can change
Other possible languages: Elm / D / Odin / Julia / OCaml / Clojure
Rather not: Janet / Perl / C#
