    This is the real answer (amongst other goodness) - this one is well executed and differentiated Every language at scale needs a preprocessor (look at the “use server” and “use gpu”…

    Most of that you can get with diligence in high school and a smattering of College classes as HS junior/senior IMHO.

    This is realtime capture/display? Presumable (at this stage) for local viewing? Is that right?

    hunh - THAT's cool. Learn something new every day. That said - it does appear encapsulated, much like an iframe - css doesn't take, etc. so though more "pure" HTML I'd argue doesn'…

    you need a server for HTML to work, as practical matter. But yes. There IS a workaround to that too, if you're REALLY determined, but you have to format your HTML a giant JS commen…

    While you do need a server i think this is the functional equivalent? The fetch JS and insert outlined (linked to) in the article is async. This blocks execution like you'd expect …

    Depends on your definition of robust (e.g. how are you handling T-junctions) but in general I would agree with this, in that that some things that are NOT trivial should rightly be…

    The core problem with pure text as an interface tends to be discoverability. Where to go from where I am is often unclear.

    Yep OS X wasnt til 2000/2001 and absolutely NOT smooth even on relatively new high end Macs at the time. OS 8 and 9 were winXP like in terms of desktop effects - no soft anything.

    Was a graphics and lead app engineer on many of the Kai line of products at the time. So much fun. And polarizing for sure - but more fans than detractors, and the business didn't …
