+# 2021
+
+This year, I've been tinkering a lot with [Deno][deno] as a [TypeScript][ts]
+runtime and have been really enjoying it. I'm hoping to write this year's AoC
+solutions using it.
+
+Specifically, here's my `deno --version` output:
+
+    deno 1.16.3 (release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
+    v8 9.7.106.5
+    typescript 4.4.2
+
+Enjoy!
