Canonical Atomics (Friends)

Friends is a long-term effort to define clean, canonical versions of common functions across the programming languages I work with most. The goal is not to build a framework, but to establish a dependable core of small, well-defined functions that remain understandable and useful over time.

Each function is written to be minimal, precise, and composable. Rather than solving problems in one-off ways, the library focuses on building blocks that can be layered together into more complex behavior without losing clarity or efficiency.

This project reflects a belief that good software grows from stable foundations. By keeping functions simple and timeless, Friends allows complexity to emerge naturally through composition, rather than through sprawling abstractions or tightly coupled systems.
