Awesome. 'For example, %= sounds like "centis" rather than "percent equals." Since even a silent reader will subvocalize, the length and complexity of the sound is a tax on reading the code.' This is great. Cle

Admittedly, the choice of "stroke" definition is an imperfect measure of the cost to write each letter (see my comment above). Even if you want readability to weigh more heavily than writability into the optimization, wouldn'

I agree about the killer app, but was thinking of movie sharing instead, for mass appeal. Imagine if you could stream any DVD one of your neighbors has, for free.
