Timer should be like in chess tournaments: an initial budget of X, increase by Y for each word you guess.

What if I omit the "uniq" keyword? Is it still valid code, just not protected by the compiler from union types changing underneath?

Nice idea. I'm just wondering how to debug code written in fusion... probably you must focus on one of outputs, debug that one, and then back-fit the changes to the fusion source. :/

The concept is very similar to robin hood. In fact most of the performance charts show that the curves of hopscotch and robin hood are very close. I think I'd prefer robin hood as it's well known.

Or you could only flag the inconsistencies, for example if the same digit shows up twice in the same row.

I hate that it immediately flags your errors. First, because it doesn't forgive the casual finger slipping or forgetting if you are in pen or pencil mode. And then because it partially gives away the solution.

The second part, where it says that Rust is faster than Python, is so obvious than doesn't deserve any further comments. What I found interesting, is that idiomatic Python, with generators and all, can be so much worse than "C-sty

Clever! I don't like the use of uintptr_t, though. Why not storing the array begin in v[0] and a pointer to the first free item in v[1]? You avoid casts by defining len as ptrdiff_t and calculating it as v[1]-v[0].

Wait! Are you saying that you process new registration attempts without any rate limit, captcha, etc? Because the moment to filter out (or limit) bad actors is before they submit an email address, not through it.

Writing to array[n] and not incrementing n means that the value just written is outside the "useful" range (from 0 to n-1) and will not be considered (it will be overwritten the next iteration).
