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.

Or:

> nft_ptr has negligible performance overhead compared to std::unique_ptr, as shown by this benchmark on our example program:

  Implementation        Runtime
  std::unique_ptr       0.005 seconds
  nft_ptr               3 minutes
