These demos then are the eye candy that sucked me in to look seriously at this stuff. Besides extracting massive performance gains from current hardware the programming model is such that it scales transparently across multiple machines. But these are just pretty, and the complexity of what they do belies that first examination of the language and assessment as a toy. Mea maxima culpa. So, here are the 10 demos that blew my mind, and I'll be keeping track of these through the years so we can see how much progress we've made, say, in a decade. Many of these work in all browsers, the linux emulator (!) only runs in Chrome. The V8 engine in there is SO fast it's like opening a new door from a programming perspective. rjs 26-05-11 |
