This is surely either derived from the Alchemist Owl's POC||GTFO musings, or destined to be included in them at some point in the very near future. https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ I'll never get my head around the fact that a language that started life as a way to accurately draw things on a printer and on a screen, is capable of being used for full-fledged applications such as this - although I suppose it makes sense, its still just too weird to me. What's next? A full-blown desktop OS in Postscript, which is also the User Manual? I sure freakin' hope so .. ;)

SimCity, Cellular Automata, and Happy Tool for HyperLook (nee HyperNeWS (nee GoodNeWS)) HyperLook was like HyperCard for NeWS, with PostScript graphics and scripting plus networking. Here are three unique and wacky examples that plug together to show what HyperNeWS was all about, and where we could go in the future! https://donhopkins.medium.com/hyperlook-nee-hypernews-nee-goodnews-99f411e58ce4 https://donhopkins.medium.com/hyperlook-nee-hypernews-nee-go...

  Oh, this is so great - thanks for sharing, I'm going to dive deep into this crazy, weird, Postscript rabbit hole .. (Been reading POC||GTFO for years, but now I finally think its time to write something..)

  Hi Don, have you ever been tempted to reimplement the Hyperlook system in the browser (similar to the revival of the old Smalltalk systems pre Smalltalk-80)?
