This is my second attempt at Advent of Code 🎅🏻, my first time around I only lasted a couple of days. My language of choice is ReasonML, same as last year.
Santa has become stranded at the edge of the Solar System while delivering presents to other planets! To accurately calculate his position in space, safely align his warp drive, and return to Earth in time to save Christmas, he needs you to bring him measurements from fifty stars.
Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the Advent calendar; the second puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants one star. Good luck!
I'm also making some of the solutions in native Reason to compare performance and to have even more fun! Those solutions are found here or via the relevant native link in the table below.

I've tested performance using performance.now() and taken the fastest time
from a couple of runs.
