For someone who's been following this only tangentially, how similar is the interface and implementation to what's used in Grant's https://github.com/3b1b/manim

  So, to give an example: In manim, one could do something like this: from manimlib.imports import * class ReplacementTransformExhibit(Scene): def construct(self): square = Square().shift(LEFT) circle = Circle().shift(RIGHT) self.play(ReplacementTransform(square, circle)) To have a square morph to a circle. Currently in Javis, one could do something like this: using Javis astar(args...) = star(O, 50) acirc(args...) = circle(Point(100,100), 50) function ground(args...) background("white") sethue("black") end video = Video(500, 500) javis(video, [ Action(1:100, ground), Action(1:50, morph(astar, acirc)), Action(51:100, morph(acirc, astar)) ], creategif=true, tempdirectory="images", pathname="star2circle.gif", deletetemp=true) As you can see, Javis is, at this stage, a little more verbose. However, for v0.3.0 we are moving away from Action syntax to something more generic and user friendly (this shift based on user feedback).
