- ekimekim 11y agoThe Mandelbrot set (the image on the right) is a famous example of a fractal, a mathematical shape that gets more detailed the more you zoom in. The code on the left is SQL, normally used to query databases, but in this case is being used to create the image on the right. This is impressive because SQL isn't generally thought of as a language for arbitrary computation.
