@HexSpin, @ellocco, Isn’t this related (or same type of code? I’ve yet to watch the full video): [Rust / Julia Comparison Post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/rust-julia-comparison-post/75403) and [Optimal Quordle](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/optimal-quordle/88685)

Here’s Julia code that Parker linked to:

It uses Polyester threads, while good still far behind the best, which will be hard to beat. It’s a good challenge (excluding Julia startup/compilation overhead), and if compiling to binary with StaticCompiler.jl, then currently I think impossible to beat since it doesn’t support threads.
