So recently I asked if Unix v6 is the "To Kill a Mockingbird" of computer science, then what is the Huckleberry Finn. Ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24856047

This thing with YouTube-dl makes me consider that one quality that a "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" of computer science should possess is having been banned. Of course YouTube-dl might not be the Huckleberry Finn, but maybe it is something like The Satanic Verses (which I was never a fan of).
