profsjt: Is Haskell the right language for teaching functional programming principles? edit / delete
There's some good discussion in the comments here too. (I'm a graduate of SJT's Haskell course at Kent, and really liked the pure language... but there was a big step up from there to being able to use it for real-world programming.)

uBITX -A compact HF transceiver edit / delete
Applying the BITX philosophy (good performance out of absurdly cheap parts) to a multiband SSB radio. The trick here is using an Si oscillator chip that can provide three separate outputs -- so you can do things like switching sidebands by tweaking one oscillator either side of the final filter frequency. Very neat!

spigot: a command-line exact real calculator edit / delete
A calculator which "does not output any digit of the answer until it's sure that the digit is right, and it will keep generating digits until you tell it to stop." Which means it's great if you're after pi, but struggles with numbers like 0.

CMake - Crypto++ Wiki edit / delete
Why Crypto++ stopped using CMake. This matches my experience with building CMake projects in GARStow -- I get around most of the problems through the compiler wrapper which can override flags, but that's obviously not a solution for an upstream project.

Imperial College London media library : APL demonstration 1975 edit / delete
Bob Spence demonstrates APL (basic operators, operator composition, function definition) in 1975. While I'm not sure I'd want to give a lecture using a teletype, the ability to scribble on the output with a biro is definitely useful!
