    As I’m still on holiday and normal languages are a PITA to type on a phone, I though I’d try a compiled scripting language. I’m not very familiar with it so it took longer to code and also it’s been running the first reduce step for 35 minutes so I’ve missed the 24h cutoff 😔

    use std repeat
use std/iter

let memory = open input.txt | str trim 
  | split chars | chunks 2
  | enumerate | each {|pair| [
    ...($pair.index | repeat ($pair.item.0 | into int))
    ...("." | repeat (if ($pair.item|length) < 2 {0} else {$pair.item.1 | into int}))
  ]}
  | flatten

let defragged = (($memory | length) - 1)..(($memory | filter {$in != .} | length))
 | reduce --fold $memory {|i, acc| 
    let space = $acc | iter find-index {|$i| $i == .}
    $acc | update $space ($acc | get $i)
      | update $i .
  }

$defragged | enumerate
  | reduce --fold 0 {|i,acc| $acc + ($i.index * if $i.item == "." {0} else {$i.item | into int})}

      You coded this on a phone, with a touchscreen keyboard? Not sure who is more impressive, you or the unicode wizard :D

          I’ll buy “better than default on screen keyboard”, but I doubt it’ll be better than a physical keyboard. Would be nice if there was a virtual keyboard that let you easily modify the layout. I keep hitting . instead of space on my phone.

        Haha, thanks but we both know they’re #1 by a country mile. I think my phone’s now downclocking as it’s burning up and still hasn’t spat out an answer after two hours, so I technically haven’t completed it yet!

        Edit: Calling it for now, I might figure out later why it’s so slow (there’s some easy but minor gains to be made but I’m guessing there’s some O(awful) going on that the input’s blown up)
