I don't remember looking at this project. I think I did read other implementations of this algorithm, and they all end up very similar, so it's probably due to algorithm itself. It might be interesting to link to all codebases tha

I see that most of your comments are of the same kind, and that you get lots of downvotes. The reason for the downvotes is that the Hacker News feels like appreciation is best communicated through upvoting: it helps sorting the comments in
