Ouroboros HTML is a humorous project that compiles HTML through 20 incompatible programming languages and runtimes (Python, PHP, Go, C, WebAssembly, Brainfuck, JavaScript, Svelte, PostgreSQL, Pandoc, and others) to produce functionally identical HTML5 output, demonstrating the software engineering principle of solving problems through layers of indirection while ironically proving the inverse theorem about too many abstraction layers.
U is a new programming language that transpiles PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript to compiled C binaries, achieving 14K–70K requests per second compared to PHP's 800 req/s and Node's 2.4K req/s. The compiler catches null dereferences and capability violations that LLMs introduce 23–31% of the time, producing tiny, dependency-free binaries suitable for edge computing and resource-constrained environments.
