  Perhaps it's not really intended to be of widespread practical use. It's useful to the person who made it because it powers his website. But sometimes people do stuff just because they think it's fun or cool. Or as a sort of exhibit with little practical value — like apprentices used to make a "masterpiece" to show off their skills. Or because it's a way to learn a skill or technology in a low-pressure environment.

That's just change, and for as long as programmers are alive, more abstractions will come up and ossify. Don't think there is much we can do to fight it, regardless of how much we disagree with it.

  As my personal website it is useful and was built with that purpose in mind. Any other uses which may come from it would also be of interest to me and I am excited to see what can come of it in the future.
