Fifteen-year-old Tomoko Kuroki believed that her library would become popular on Github because she had become well-versed in writing C++. In reality, she finds that she has become an unsociable 1-star loner and she is forced to take a long hard look at her code for the first time in years. The story follows Tomoko as she attempts to refactor her library as she progresses through 5 stages of Sepples: Denial, Anger , Bargaining, Depression, Rewrite.
Characters:
Tomoko Kuroki:
The main character. Tomoko is often depicted as a desperate, lonely, and deranged girl who is characterized by her social anxiety and autism. She has a grim outlook on programming, as most of her thoughts involve class hierarchies or templates. She spends most of her days debugging her library and browsing /prog/.
Tomoki Kuroki
Tomoko's gloomy younger brother. He is often annoyed by her odd behavior, and sometimes gets into her computer to introduce subtle errors in her code. Because he has a few github projects and is a talented C hacker, Tomoko occasionally comes into his chatroom for advice.
Yuu Naruse
Yuu is Tomoko's best and possibly only friend. Initially a dorky-looking girl, she somehow became well-versed in Lisp and Haskell upon entering MIT (much to Tomoko's jealousy). She still regards Tomoko as her best friend despite the complete makeover.
Kii
Tomoko's little cousin who has just started writing JavaScript. At first she looks up to Tomoko as a big sister, but soon begins to pity her after she realizes C++ is driving her miserable.
Tomoko's mother
Tomoko and Tomoki's mother, who worries about her daughter's strange C++ obsession. Programs in Ada.
