It's notable mostly due to who created it, Evan is the cofounder of Figma and the creator of ESBuild. Based on the fact he's noted "A little experiment, please ignore" and the language he created and it's written in (Skew) hasn't been touched since 2021, reduce is significance in my view. But it's always interesting to see what these incredible creators have built in the past. More recently he's been playing with CRDTs with some interesting experiments: https://madebyevan.com/algos/ https://madebyevan.com/algos/

Definitely admiring how he finds motivation to keep creating value. He has excellent discipline. Many will still not know who he is or what he created.

I'm curious to know why OP wanted to post it. I've seen dozens of voxel landscape demos - running in a browser, running on a Raspberry Pi, running on a refridgerator. It would be great to have some insight into why this one is worth my attention.

  I just think it’s a fun little project! I love interesting programming projects that people share the source code for. I keep a note filled with links to things like this. Sometimes I have a programming idea and I’ll go back to this list to see if I’ve already found something similar that I could build on top of. One example where I did that: I remixed a few projects by other people to create this graphing tool that works on formulas that don’t have to be solved for y: https://memalign.github.io/m/formulagraph/index.html?f1(x,t)=r%20=%203&v1=true&f2(x,t)=y%5Ey%20=%20x%5Ex&v2=true&f3(x,t)=(x+5)%5E2+(y-((x+5)%5E2)%5E(1/3))%5E2%20%3C%201&v3=true&f4(x,t)=r%20=%202*sin(2*theta)&v4=true&f5(x,t)=(x-5)%5E100%20+%20(y+5)%5E100%20%3C=%202&v5=true&f6(x,t)=-(x-floor(x))%20+%205&v6=true&grid=true&coords=0,0,12&paused=true https://memalign.github.io/m/formulagraph/index.html?f1(x,t)...

    Now this is cool.
