This almost seems like something you'd see in a thedailywtf article.

Want to write an application that does X? Design, build, test, and document a flexible cross-platform framework that can safely and portably run any application in the domain, and then specialize it to do X!

I have to say, though, that it seems to have actually worked out for the best in this case. He added a ton of puzzles at a rapid pace and they've spread to a surprising number of platforms.

And now maybe you understand why "flexible cross-platform frameworks" are not automatically a WTF ;)
