Software engineers like efficiently running software.
Mathematicians like beautiful definitions.
Scientists like non-trivial discoveries.
This paper.... uh.... what exactly is it good for?
I suppose it could be kind of nice as some kind of undergraduate paper writing project kind of thing but it looks too professional for that.... I am kind of at a loss why this was written. Maybe it is some strange kind of satire....
- ukj 5y agoThis paper is good for parsing/validating your source code (from the view-point of your compiler/interpreter). Code is data after all.
- squiddev 5y agoIt's written for sigbovik 2021 [1][2], which is very much a joke conference. Other papers this year were "Lowestcase and Uppestcase letters: Advances in Derp Learning" and "On the dire importance of mru caches for human survival (against Skynet)".

- m3koval 5y agoSIGBOVIK is a parody of computer science conferences. It's a running joke hosted on April Fools Day every year at CMU - and apparently a quite convincing one. ;-) Source: I attended SIGBOVIK a few times in grad school.
