    Entirely unrelated to the topic, but my mind was blown when I recently learnt that clamp() can be implemented via .median(val, low, high), and the param order doesn't matter!

    OP: the readme could really benefit from a section describing the underlying methodology, and comparing it to other approaches (Go channels, LMAX, etc...)

    I've always been a backend/systems kind of guy. For the frontend for this I used Vue.JS as a learning experience. Overall it was straightforward and quite pleasant. The hardest par…
