I feel kind of silly working on my 100 line implementation, where someone will just Python up a 3 line solution and call it a day. It's definitely a good tool for the job.
I don’t think you need to feel silly. Programming languages are tools. Some are better suited for jobs than others.
AoC is good for two skills:
With python #2 is no longer difficult. In the past I’ve used Rust or C and I spent way more effort on #2 than #1.
I think the key is what is your goal in doing this? I like the puzzles but have limited time so I use python to solve them quickly and be on my way. If I had more time i would have liked to learn / try go this year.
