Alltheutils

A utility library with functions I'd rather not recreate if I can help it.

🍕 This is mostly just a util library I'm maintaining for personal projects. If you find it useful, great! If you have a specific utility you want added, just let me know and I'll try to get around to it, or you can submit a PR.
