One of my CS classes this semester runs a semester-long contest to see who can write the fastest concurrent maze solver. Submitted programs are tested on a battery of 7 mazes that may or may not be solvable and a public scoreboard is updated quasi-daily with each competitor’s runtime performance...

Since my personal site went through a recent re-haul (I can’t believe we’re on v4 now…), I figured now would be a good a time as any to, hopefully, start up writing this blog again.

Recently, I had started experimenting with Firebase’s Realtime Database. Then one thing led to another, and I eventually found myself working on a language extension for a rules language, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
