  • Modelia guttata A. Adams, 1863: synonym of Bolma guttata (A. Adams, 1863)
gollark: I learned vaguely how it worked from porting and then debugging it a ton, so:
gollark: Well, it's a port of a Haskell program, hence the name `fractalart-rs`, but running much faster, which is important as the algorithm is O(n³) or something.
gollark: Observe, "fractal art".
gollark: For instance, there is now `fractalart-rs`, now that I've fixed it, *and* `calibre-indexer`, from a while ago.
