For those using Piet in production, what async web framework do you favor? Warhol seems pretty popular, but Schiele has me impressed with its expressiveness. We're currently using Dali, though I'm a bit dissatisfied at how surreal its API is.

I was little terrified after reading the first sentence...

We are using Apache Van^Gogh. But it's trendy to use Hirst though.

Love Van^Gogh in combination with a Munch cache. Recently went to the Van^Gogh conference where they had a great talk on this topic. [0]

We get popular results with Banksy, though come to think of it, not sure if anyone knows who our programmers are...

I've had good results from Emin. But it can be a bit temperamental.

I really love this kind of conferences, where things are almost hands-on and you can see the actual source code of all(!) presented projects.

They even embrace showing source code, and all discussion is centered around a specific piece of code.

These are qualities I miss at most conferences.

I was going to attempt a humorous comment of "I prefer a language that supports recursion, so I use Escher". But then my brain went, "think there already is an Escher". There is one, it's from 1995.

Are programming languages about to hit the same problem as musicians, thinking up that cool but unused band name?

I'm wondering if there is a practical use of such a graphic language. I am thinking of printing the pictures associated with the code, put them somewhere, and other people could take some photos of those pictures with their smartphones and run the corresponding code. That might be useful for a game but I can't think of anything yet.

Like a qr code but without needing internet. Could be cool for geocaching

QR codes don't need internet. They just get less reliable the bigger you make them, so often people just put URLS in them and put the real info at the URL. There are plenty of "historical site" QR codes around here that have a short paragraph of info in them.
