Just to give you an example of my raw output...

Are you not getting tired of this hopelessly boring OpenSource 
scene?
All these 50 shades of JS framework, series. The long and dull 
re-runs of all of the web server framework shows. A clone of 
this! A copy of that but in Lua compiled to down to shell script. 
I hope the guys are giggling to themselves and this is all not 
serious in any way. Won't like to offend people, right? Wrong. I 
do not care really if something is fundamentally a copy I call it 
boring, despite it maybe have some interesting qualities.

With that in mind I'd rather see people flex their brains on hard 
problems. Challenges! Just because the hardware is so fast you 
you can actually compile Lua to Shell script that transpiles 
itself to JavaScript starts the to show rainbows and ponies (with 
optional web assembly ray-tracing backend, that however is only 
supported on Chrome or Firefox, whatever).

I'm talking about real work folks. Like how many interesting 
things can you pack in 32 bit machine word? Are you done making 
that list of yours? What about it being agnostic to Big / Little 
Endian issues when read from octet stream?
Oh, gets more interesting doesn't it? How about adding a checksum 
of sorts, you know count the bits do some bitwise magic to 
validate the result in order to detect 1 bit of error creeping in 
during the transfer? How it looks if we print the octets as 
ASCII? Should keep my terminal settings intact at least when I 
pipe it in accidentally ... I could go on and on, but I'd prefer 
people to find the things they like the most obviously.

Okay, it quickly gets out of hand and I need to get back to work 
I think.
