These are my favorite coding projects. No business case, no practicality for non-developers (or developers for that matter), no long term support, no problem solving. Just a love/hate letter to software and the absurdity it brings to our world.

I assume you're very familiar with Tom7, and in particular his SIGBOVIK submissions, but just in case: Tom7!

Or:

> nft_ptr has negligible performance overhead compared to std::unique_ptr, as shown by this benchmark on our example program:

  Implementation        Runtime
  std::unique_ptr       0.005 seconds
  nft_ptr               3 minutes

Of course it's satire; one of the most absurdist forms of satire is finding something ridiculous yet taken seriously, and treating it far more seriously than that.

Of course it's written in Rust.

It’s still a punchline
