    I’ve got my first sub-1000 rank today (998 for part 2). Yay!
    Simple and straightforward challenge, very fitting for 1st day. Gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

    proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
  var l1,l2: seq[int]
  for line in input.splitLines():
    let pair = line.splitWhitespace()
    l1.add parseInt(pair[0])
    l2.add parseInt(pair[1])
  l1.sort()
  l2.sort()

  block p1:
    for i in 0..l1.high:
      result.part1 += abs(l1[i] - l2[i])

  block p2:
    for n in l1:
      result.part2 += n * l2.count(n)
