Reminiscing this and that, on the web since 1994.

I like to write programs to render fractals, and especially Julia set
fractals.
I also like the Rust programming language.
Among other advantages it happens to be great for compiling to wasm,
the new format for executing code in a web browser.
And I like to code stuff for the webb.
So how come I haven’t written a wasm Julia renderer in Rust yet?
Well, now I have.
WebAssembly seems to be all the rage currently.
While I certainly wouldn’t mind replacing all javascript code with
rust, that seems impractical for things
running in the browser, as everything about the DOM and event handling
still have to go through javascript bindings.
As it is a good thing to keep javascript minimal for progressive
enhancement, that makes the code contain very little more than event
bindings anyway.

Apparently, I’m on the scene.
I went to deadline harakiri
to take a look, mainly since elmindreda, Dicander, Psychad and some
other people reawoke my interest in 3d graphics and the demo scene in
general.

Thou shalt not overwrite your files before they have entered the
state of backup.
Since I did just that, causing the demo to be null and void for a
while, I have now rewritten the demo from biological memory.
After seeing the entries of the PC/Mac Demo compo — some of them were
really good — Psychad announsed / reminded that the deadline for PHP
demo was at 02:00.
And at about 1:45, Dicander had convinced me to participate. As I
didn’t have a computer with me I went to my workplace 400 meters away
to code it …
