I just ran this on a laptop - it worked (part one only) but took 4h28m21s so Nushell is not a language for AoC (or I just coded it very poorly).
I think once your runtime hits 4 hours, the minutes and seconds stop being relevant :D
Is it 4hrs of 100% CPU?
One core was busier, but it wasn’t at 100%. My Rust code yesterday was the same, perhaps it’s taking too much time accessing memory.
The time was wall time (as per Starship’s output) but it was still waaay too slow to bother with again!
