I think interactive storytelling is awesome. It's where the fun comes from in D&D, CYOA books, and many video games. Also, Ayn Rand wrote a play, "Night of January 16th"[0], where the audience plays the role of the jury,

I'm seeing some really interesting JavaScript techniques in the turtlevm.js[1] source. This line in particular stands out: const code = String(work).trim().split("{").slice(1).join("{").slice(0, - 1).trim().replace
