Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as "Euler's FizzBuzz", a FizzBuzz solution that commenters call elegant. One commenter disputes its claim of a function with no conditional logic.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionThe original: http://philcrissman.net/posts/eulers-fizzbuzz/ I find this part inscrutable: > It is possible to write a function which uses no conditional logic at all And then goes on to show several examples in python, ruby, and mathematical syntax using condition logic. I mean, just moving the conditions into a lookup table does make it "not conditional". These programs both use conditional logic: for x in range(1…
