An alternative BEAM implementation, designed for WebAssembly
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:20 commits, 8 PRs, 4 comments in 1 month
Contributions summary:Bryan primarily contributed to implementing core functionality related to time and date manipulation within the Lumen project, an alternative BEAM implementation for WebAssembly. They focused on implementing the `datetime` module, including `universaltime/0`, `localtime/0`, `date/0`, `time/0`, `system_time/0`, `system_time/1`, `time_offset/0`, `time_offset/1`, `timestamp/0`, and `now/0` which required modifications across multiple files and the addition of a test suite. The user also fixed compile issues and refactored existing code to ensure functionality and maintainability.
