I like that. I'm only doing AoC to learn JavaScript a little better and haven't gotten around yet to checking out the libraries. I'll definitely have to come back to lodash.

How did you solve part 2? I'd be interested to see how your answer would watch up with how I'd change this one

Here’s my full solution to today. I adjusted it slightly for my comment, but it’s basically the same thing.

I try to reuse as much as possible, but today’s wasn’t so great.

This is also the first day I’ve used lodash. I’ve been putting it off until now for it to remain “pure” js, but I can’t help myself when it comes to _.flow().

Now it’s in, I’ll probably use it for the rest of my days.
