Standard Library, Uncommon Uses
summary
Shows concrete hacks: a signature service persisted as a text-backed PStore/YAML file and served via an eight-line WEBrick web endpoint and a TCP GServer handler, both working as prototypes; uses DRb with IPAddr to distribute 11k-pair batches across a /24 (enumerates 254 hosts) to avoid 2.8 million pair work; uses Abbrev for tab completion, implements a local lein distance for typo detection, and benchmarks Prime to show stdlib is three times slower than a tight three-line check.
