In plain words

Tifuhash is a hashing library that implements a tiny, fast universal hash function based on 64-bit continued fractions. It is designed for developers who need efficient hashing for their applications. The software stands out for its minimal size and speed, making it suitable for projects where performance and low overhead are important. Available as an npm package, it offers a specialized approach to hash computation for those seeking alternatives to standard hashing methods.

    Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…
