The Compression Puzzle

One lovely Friday we were faced with this nice yet intriguing programming puzzle.

One shall write a program that compresses string "AAABBAAC" to its compressed form "3A2B2A1C".

These attempts were made,...

Basic rules

1. No external libraries or tools shall be used. Only standard, bundled libraries apply.
2. "Assert" inside your solution if the function does what it is suppose to do.
3. You can apply as many solutions as you want to any language you want.

Development

# Via Nix Shell
$ nix-shell shell.nix --run "make run"
# if you preffer to roll your own local brew
$ make

To run individual languages use:

make bash
make fs
make go
make javascript
make python
make ruby
make scala
