Earlier quoted context omitted.

IIRC it was an SGI application - very cool but not terribly practical!

Yes, it was a SGI application. Probably used in the movie Hackers. There was also a Doom file manager where you'd use BFG to nuke a directory. I only found one for Doom 3 but this also existed with original Doom. Nowadays, BFG is only used to nuke git repos.

Doom process managers where a thing for a while too, 20 years ago. Using the BFG on a crowded room of processes usually resulted in a system crash. Hunting down a stuck program and shooting it in E1M1 was pretty neat though. Your comment reminded me of playing with this in MacOS X a long time ago.

Off topic, I still couldn't find an easy or seamless way to search GitHub repos by keywords (repo name, coding language, etc) and have them order by most stars descending.

Weird you are right

I just tried this:

https://github.com/search?q=lang%3Arust&type=repositories&s=...

Filter by language to rust and then select sort by most stars, and the top repository has 249 stars...

Though if I add a filter for stars greater than 1000 the results look way better:

https://github.com/search?q=lang%3Arust+stars%3A%3E1000&type...
