TIL vector-of: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/vector-of maybe this would come in handy for performance optimizations in Advent of Code?

as part of my programming/clojure learning I was hoping to try out some advent of code problems. i followed the online communities as it was happening live and it seems super fun. how would you recommend a beginner to set up a project to do this? something like lein new app advent? Would you do that for each day or just once and then have like a day-1.clj file inside the src directory? Are the problems pretty advanced?

where do I put each day's input files?

and I found a couple github's of various clojurians' solutions. is there anyone (or multiple) you would consider used simple, idiomatic clojure that a learner could learn from?
