That's nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it. But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius. Some other works I've seen before: https://github.com/LingDong-/rrpl - a "radical" new way to describe Chinese characters as a composition of parts http://nonflowers.lingdong.works/ - procedurally generated flowers in style of classic Chinese watercolor painti…

So my current "people who consistently do really cool niche stuff" list contains foone, Neil Cicierega, jan misali, and now this guy. Any other suggestions?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Won't work: if(checkForSomething()) { let foo = 2; } else { let foo = 3; } console.log(foo); // won't work But: if(checkForSomething()) { var foo = 2; } else { var foo = 3; } console.log(foo); // will work That said, I religiously avoid "var" and just declare the variable beforehand with "let" because there are too many other gotchas with var. Less debugging headaches. And use "const" religiously as well, like C++ pe…

const in C++ is very different than const in JavaScript though. I guess you are well aware of that but I feel like being pedantic. This is allowed in JavaScript: const foo = {bar: 1}; foo.bar = 2;

Why Beijing? He lives in the US. Agreed his work is excellent. I particularly like that he brings different aesthetics to generative art. Traditional Chinese brushstrokes, these 19th century European themed fish drawings.. It's nice to see something calm and classical.
