This kind of PC-jargon also makes me want to place a bet that the alleged "monoculture" is some perfectly reasonable insistence on either clarity or basic politeness. Willing to be proved wrong though!

Nice work, I love ascii diagrams. Especially useful when you want a visual explanation that can be embedded directly in source code. Small nit on layout: 90 degree joints should use "+" in the connecting lines, as they do in the

There is a big difference between doing something for pure curiosity, love, or exploration and doing something directly harmful to other people for the same reasons. One is art; the other is sadism.
