Advent of code in Rust - solving year 2020 exercise 12 - Part 1 (Twitch Live 2021-05-31)
2In this episode, we completed Advent of Code y2020 ex12 part 1.
This exercise was an interesting navigation project where we needed to keep track of a moving ship.
Unfortunately, this time around Roberto could not attend, but Eugen and I had a special guest, Javier (@pepoviola on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pepoviola). Javier did an excellent job driving the implementation and we managed to complete the first part of the exercise.
Thank you Javier for joining us, it was a pleasure to have you and to learn with you!
Special thanks also to Tommaso Allevi for providing a lot of useful comments throughout the session!
One interesting learning of this session was the difference from the generic From trait and the FromStr trait.
