The advent of code is to help people learn, and part of that is teaching people that the data structures matters. Toy problems help people see patterns, and just going "we'll use a map despite it being a poor choice" doesn't teach anything except an anti-pattern.
- @wewbull @Noughtmare knowing when to say "this isn't the perfect data structure, but it's convenient, and it's fine for this use-case" is a perfectly acceptable lesson to learn
