A blog post about my solving the "water sort puzzle"

Likely poorly formatted, because I'm not sure how to preview a rendered version.

To preview a rendered version locally you need to install Hugo (somewhat easier with #114) and then run hugo serve. The website should then be available at http://localhost:1313 with live updates.

When I do that, the webpage only shows an unhelpful "Page Not Found," and the terminal prints a bunch of:

WARN 2023/02/09 15:44:27 found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "page": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination.
WARN 2023/02/09 15:44:27 found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "home": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination.

Make sure you have the theme submodule cloned either with recursive cloning or git submodule update --init

Ah, that'll do it. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay on getting feedback on this. I discussed the post with Cole and Elias, and we would like it to be included provided it matches the overall style of the previous posts:

• As written, it feels a little too much like a personal blog post ("I", "me", "on a subway", ...). I think if we were to include it, it would need to be a little more "scholarly" for lack of a better term.
• Similar to an issue we had in a previous post draft, this post would benefit from a more direct thesis/conclusion/discussion about why Coalton is particularly useful or effective at this problem. (Is it?)
• It might also be a good idea to structure the post to be a little more "tutorial" in nature. As opposed to being an exposition on how to think about and solve the puzzle, be more of an exposition on how to write a Coalton program to implement a given solution.

Otherwise, it is interesting and simple enough for a blog-post style exposition.
