@raiderrobert I actually think these are all GREAT things for developers to write! Not to put into production, but as an exercise to gain a deeper understanding of why these are hard problems and what abstractions are actually doing for you under the hood. As a friend once said, “reinventing the wheel is a great way to learn more about wheels”
