Well, I for one enjoyed it.

This problem has a name actually - there’s a solution called Bjorklund’s algorithm which was originally used in physics. It was picked up by a music researcher (Godfried Toussaint) who noticed that it generates satisfying rhythms too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_rhythm I implemented it myself for Sonic Pi as the spread function.
