There’s a paper on Arxiv about permacomputing where the authors test webpage with w3m, links and #offpunk as a reference.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.18481

And now my brain is arguing with itself:

— Wait, we single-handedly coded a very hackish HTML rendering engine which is a one-file python script and serious people are now using it as a reference in a serious paper?
— We should be proud!
— We made it without thinking! It was a test!
— That’s how technology is done. Always.
