at some point several people asked me whether it was inspired by enso (i didnt know about enso at the time) or whether i was involved in the Arrival visual effects (i was not) because of this higher resolution rendition of the same algorith

2016 is accurate. and thank you! with danger of nitpicking: it's more meta programming that has drawn me to lisp (rather than functional programming). the most recent post on my site describes an aspect of this (datalog for drawings as

i find that hard to estimate. a day or less for some. i ported the webby thing to vanilla js in a couple of days. might have been slightly faster if i used p5js. but others might take weeks or even months. depending on how much experience y

the most interesting part (as far as i'm concerned. i have some bias here ...) is the stuff about manipulating the graph structure. the concept is described in the readme, and does not rely that heavily on CL knowledge. it's not t

there are some references on my website. see the faq and the generative section. there are many ways to start. depends on your previous knowledge and how you prefer to work. the nature of code is a book that might be of interest. Nervous Sy

yeah, i'm going for easy. and also, easily explainable. i like to leave some of the details up to whoever tries it. which is also why i generally don't include code anymore. i guess i could have had more references though. sphere

you get unwanted artefacts in the results if you don't use some randomness. having said that, there might ways of reducing the need for it (which would be more efficient).

I'm not sure about how you would efficiently do this. (I'm not experienced with pure functional programming.) cloning the entire structure for every applied function sounds like it will be slow? is that not what you will have to d

i don't know what a free monad is. not sure if there are any advantages. this is an experiment i'm working on because i find it interesting. separating the data structure from the instructions that attempt to manipulate it has the

you manipulate a data structure that contains vertices and edges. there is more about it here http://inconvergent.net/snek-is-not-an-acronym/ . snk is an instance of snek, so it contains a realisation of the structure a

Thanks a lot. This looks interesting. I'll definitely look into it. I don't think I'm qualified to say whether it is possible at this point, but my guess is that it is very possible!

Thanks. No, I've been using python/cython because I know it well already. I've considered learning a functional language though. So I'd be happy to get suggestions. Eg. I would choose a language that has a decent communi
