Possibly dumb question - what does KYU stand for?

KYU is used for grading the difficulty levels, or degree of proficiency or experience.

That's a great question -- I'm not totally sure, but it's the ranking system CodeWars uses, so I include it -- 8 KYU are the most beginner friendly, 1 KYU takes a really long time.

Ooh. I tried to do Advent of Code in Go last year, but AoC was probably too steep a challenge for a language I didn't know at all. This is a much more manageable entrypoint. Thanks for this! 🤗

For sure! I may try and incorporate those next month! We'll see! Go is so much fun, I should do more with it!
