replyHow does this relate to e.g. the research around https://docs.rs/adapton/latest/adapton/ or https://github.com/janestreet/incremental?
replyYours might go a little less into the details, but its really clear and I like the diagrams and explanation around glitch hazards. Please do follow up on your tangents if you have time.
replyI really enjoyed your post and was surprised to see it not posted here. I guess now I can leave the comment I wasn't able to leave on lobste.rs :)
replyThe format made for good lunchtime reading -- the care you put into making it easily readable shows. Are the illustrations actually hand-drawn? Looking forward to the next part(s) that you hinted at!
The illustrations are hand-drawn on my tablet, and then converted to SVG and touched up via an incredibly laborious and probably fairly unnecessary process.
replyNot the author, but when I want to make diagrams like this, I usually use tldraw! It has a nice nearly-hand-drawn feel that's casual and approachable for these kinds of sketches.
