Gleam is a Type-Safe programming language that transpiles to Erlang And javascript . , so you can run its code on the BEAM. I’ve slept on Gleam for a while because its syntax. It was too much Rust and not enough Elixir for me.
In this blog post, we explore Spotify's journey from using the Fisher-Yates shuffle to a more sophisticated song shuffling algorithm that prevents clustering of tracks by the same artist. We then connect this challenge to Fibonacci hashing, and propose a novel, evenly distributed artist shuffling method.
For an ABI that probably nobody uses.

You might want to…

A blog about game engines, graphics, C++, and more.
Many projects are littered with files that just re-export other files. These so called "barrel files" are one of the key reasons why JavaScript tooling is slow in bigger projects.
Of course, I’ve used Word here and there when I didn’t have a choice, but not since MultiMate —and before that, WordStar —have I intentionally sat down with full possession of my faculties and opened up a word processor in order to write something I care about.
