Saw That
I saw this before, it's definitely interesting but what are color blind people going to do?
I thought about other ways to use color in code. It would be interesting to color-code a program with a profiler - instant visual evidence of bottlenecks.
In interactive environments, objects could change color depending on how they were used. A program could have a built in execution history and behave differently depending on the history and you could use color and other attributes to exhibit it. You'd need a highly reflective environment like Smalltalk to do it right.
Glad you're thinking of me :) I'm a real asshole lately and proud of it. This business does that to me. Fortunately I'm out of work as of Monday and I'm going to just fuck around and do science until I get low on cash, then probably get a job in some other line of work. It would take a damn near perfect gig to get me back in this cesspool of stupidity and greed. I'm sick of competing with slave labor too - excuse me, American dreamers is the politically correct term.
