Mostly because many of the puzzles have test inputs, and it's convenient to be able to change which file you give to the program instead of hard-coding a path. I could have accepted a file path as an argument to the program, but that's more work than just reading from stdin.

I totally forgot the test inputs.

Sure it would be more work, but maybe it would be more "complete"?
I don't know.

Again thank you for all the great work you are doing and being so much involved in the rust community.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think I know what it means to be complete in this context. I don't really see anything wrong or incomplete about reading from stdin.
