gropes ⭐🪢

Gropes is an implementatation of the rope data structure in Gleam.

Why did I make this?

This is a mainly a learning exercise, i found the rope data structure to be a simple project to learn the basics of Gleam. This means the support for this project may be limited, but I hope that it will be useful to someone.

Objectives

• Implement the rope data structure and its basic operations
  • from_string
  • concat
  • value
  • length
  • slice
  • at_index
  • insert
  • rebalance
• [-] Benchmark the implementation against the standard library String
  • Compare different rebalancing strategies
  • Determine whether Ropes are worth the effort in a language without manual memory management
  • Optionally: Create a cool 🤩 visualization of the performance of different rebalancing strategies
