This is one of the most subtley funny things I’ve ever seen on H.N, specifically because the target audience is so small. You have to understand both C++ memory management and what an NFT is.

  Wow, I thought for sure it was a punchline, but no: > written in rust for the hipster cred. I'm probably a founding member of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force but stuff like this seems ... way overboard. Almost like a Poe's Law demonstration - it's hard to determine whether it's satire or not.

    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 get the sense from other comments in this thread that I did indeed miss the point - it is satire. Just a little too subtle IMO.

      I assume you're very familiar with Tom7, and in particular his SIGBOVIK submissions, but just in case: Tom7! (Good starting point for anyone who's not: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HLRdruqQfRk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HLRdruqQfRk )

    It’s still a punchline

    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.
