unfortunately the deno devs use AI now so this has to happen in an alternate universe where me and @Lady forked an old version of deno and maintain a Good runtime
me: programmers' tendency to use their programming language of choice puts development teams in situations where they put square pegs in round holes instead of learning new languages better suited to their problem. programmers should be more open to learning new languages

I encountered a fun coding challenge while programming today.
Suppose you are teaching a class and you brought with yourself a bag of candy to hand out to your students. You want to hand out every piece of candy, but do it in a way that disperses the candy provided to each student as evenly as possible. No student should have more than 1 extra piece of candy than any other student. Exactly which students get the extra pieces of candy does not matter.
Task: Write a function that takes N students and M pieces of candy, where M > N, and returns an array of length N showing the amount candy given to each student.
Followup Task: Generate this array in O(N) time, where N is the number of students (NOT the amount of candy!)
