I did Advent of Code in Janet the year before last I think, and really loved the PEG support. Essentially every day started out with making a quick grammar to parse the problem into whatever data structures I was using. It's intuitive, pretty easy to pick up and adjust, and powerful.

I had plans to try the same, but with Python background and having never touched any lispy languages or any macros I found the Janet for Mortals book surprisingly difficult to follow and gave up.
