Salvatore is admirably proactive at garnering criticism for his project. He's also incredibly gracious when accepting it.

Absolutely.
How would one hard code SAT cases? Just curious I've got the general code working now.
Now I feel bad for slowing up my current pet project by getting bogged down writing polygon collision detection when axis aligned bounding boxes would have done for prototyping. (I'm not as quick as Notch!)
In defence of the technique, the command table is quite succinct and arguably more readable at a glance than if there were a bunch of constants |ed together. I have no idea whether this was the original motivation though.
I was quite surprised to see the tcl tests. I'm reserving judgement until I've tried writing one though.
Ah yes, I remember the interval sets article. The first post is a lot more in depth than mine. Both great links, thanks.
Yeah, it's a pretty shallow introduction. I'd like to write more articles on the Redis code. The sorted set skiplist stuff is really interesting.

Terrible name I know. Platformer built in Javascript. No frameworks or libraries other than a sprinkling of jquery. SunVox for music, sound in bfxr, graphics in Inkscape.
