> leads to wonders like this

The engineer in me that learned about computers on a 286 with 4MB of RAM and a Hercules graphics card screams in shock and horror at the thought of letting a Cray-2's worth of computing power burn in the background. The hacker in me thinks the engineer in me should shut up and realize that live-editing shader programs is fun[1] and a great way to play with interesting math[2].

Yeah, sure. My point is, I assume you're not impressed by shader technology here (i.e. it's not new), but the remaining parts are Lisp/Smalltalk 70s/80s stuff, just in the browser.
