Honestly, it's still hard for me to tell, and those two files don't make it clearer. It's got tests, which is good and presumably counts for the serious case, but I've seen similarly excessive testing done for obvious jokes (like the enterprise Java FizzBuzz parody).

Are you saying it's obvious to you? That's great, but it's not obvious to me.

I don't know, there seems something unpleasantly supercilious about taking a software project that's obviously written to a high standard and saying you think it's a joke. How do you know the author won't be unhappy to see someone say that? It kind of seems like classic #shithnsays.
Have you seen https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...? It's a well-known parody, but one could also say it's "obviously written to a high standard", for some definitions of "standard".
