Your comment is a good illustration of why many startups fail and why we need sales and marketing departments.

I think that's unnecessary rude. This thread is about hacking something up and not building a product.

For example imagine somebody shares the "one instruction set computer" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-instruction_set_computer) project or x86 MMU being turing complete (https://github.com/jbangert/trapcc). Both are clearly just interesting hacks (which may have some interesting implications about security and what does it mean to be "code" etc) and certainly are not intended to be practical products
