Why would it need 'real life' use cases to be interesting?1

To be fair to joantune, I don't think they intended to imply that only "real life" uses were interesting. I think they were genuinely inquiring about if it had "real life" uses, or if it was an educational exercise.

Yes, I am curious where this got to be used, that's all.

Hey, i'm totally ok and encourage if this was purely to get some practice.

I was (am) just curious

Sorry, maybe my original comment was interpretable as a bit snarky. Totally agree with you.
