I really want to assume this is a joke - and yet I'm left totally uncertain!

  // Here we benchmark node-noop against various other things that are known // to do nothing to see if we have the fastest way of doing nothing.

  Yes, it is a joke, check the tags at the github repo: ironically-shitty javascript left-pad-level-dumb-module noop parody satire

  It is, however the npm package "noop" that it mentions seems to be actually used... https://www.npmjs.com/package/noop https://www.npmjs.com/package/noop > 202 downloads in the last month > Dependents (3): meta-noop, scrappers, npl

    > 202 downloads in the last month Usually, a 100 of those would be from bots by sites that also host npm package information.

      https://www.npmjs.com/package/meta-noop https://www.npmjs.com/package/meta-noop is 10 months old and got only 6 downloads last month, so I don't think it's entirely background noise. https://www.npmjs.com/package/scrappers https://www.npmjs.com/package/scrappers which depends on noop looks like an actual, real, useful package.
