Today's #adventofcode problem (2024 day 11) was absolutely *perfect* IMHO. Everyone should give it a go.
This is how my testing setup looks like to run #AdventOfCode programs on the #MSX. So far I did a couple of them in Turbo Modula-2, and it has been an interesting experience. It feels modern and high level enough to almost be unbelievable that this runs on a Z80 a little under 4 MHz, on any CP/M 2.1 compatible system (I think, not completely sure about the minor version).
The last picture shows how the language runtime can even produce stack traces for uncaught exceptions. I find both these features (exceptions, and meaningful stack traces) amazing for something that was done back in the 80s!

Picture of a desk with two screens. To the right a flat panel, which is turned off. To the left, a small CRT television, and a Panasonic FS-A1WSX MSX computer. The CRT shows the MSX-DOS prompt in white over black background, the command “day01 day01.tst” has been entered and the program is reporting progress reading the input file by printing dots.

Picture of a CRT screen showing the output from an Advent of Code program running on MSX-DOS, reaching the solution after reporting progress reading the input, sorting through data, and “mulling” over the result.

Same CRT running a different program for day four of Advent of Code. This one has failed, and the Turbo Modula-2 runtime has offered to print a stack trace, showing that procedure “READBY” in module “FILES” threw an uncaught “EndError” exception.

This one required me to reach out to regular expressions. I could have parsed by hand too, but regex is more convenient.
