Anyone planning on solving Advent of Code 2020?

I always start with excitement and then get busy on 9/10th day. This year, like the year before this, and the year before that, I intend to be regular. My language of choice this year would be Elixir (and/or Dart depending on my mood on the day). Anyone else going to solve Advent of Code puzzles starting tomorrow?

Waiting for the first one to unlock https://adventofcode.com/

defmodule AdventOfCode.Y2020.Day1 do
  @moduledoc """
  Problem Link: https://adventofcode.com/2020/day/1
  """
  use AdventOfCode.Helpers.InputReader, year: 2020, day: 1

  def run_1, do: input!() |> process() |> two_entries()
  def run_2, do: input!() |> process() |> three_entries()
  def run, do: {run_1(), run_2()}

  def process(input) do
    input
    |> String.split("\n", trim: true)
    |> Enum.map(&String.to_integer(&1))
  end

  def two_entries(xs), do: do_two_entries(xs, MapSet.new(xs))

  def three_entries(xs), do: do_three_entries(xs, MapSet.new(xs))
