If only crinkle-crankle software were equally justifiable...

Xophmeister
If we take the meaning of a "crinkle crankle structure" to be something like
an "economically self-supporting structure", then it's justifiable by
definition. The question then becomes: What, in the realm of software
engineering, fits this description?

Lisp, perhaps?

If crinkle-crankle walls protect fruit, then I suppose the analogous software
might run on some Apple device that's unnecessarily expensive, technically
lagging, and probably beautiful. Hard to justify economically, but still
attractive.

I grew up in Suffolk, where I knew of several examples, and I never realised
that they were a particularly Suffolk-specific thing: according to the
article, twice as many in the county as the rest of the UK. I would be
interested to know why.
