This! It feels like most of these markdown files floating around can bear the label _“stuff you struggled to have a sloppy coworker understand”_.

This is nice! And reminds me of this other very cool MySpace rebuild by artist/hacker Jankenpopp:

https://myspace.windows93.net/

Collapse OS was initially written in assembly for the Z80, a microprocessor first launched in 1976. The fact that Forth is 6 years older than the Z80 seems interesting enough of a step further back in time to be hightlighted.

Very nice!

This also has potential for landing in many movies where a hacker at work is involved.

Judging by the comments so far, the name change backlash is of unseen-since-Qwikster proportions…

This font is beautiful and has really nice options.

But it lets me with a bitter feeling: as a potential user, I won't even consider using it because non-ASCII latin letters are not treated first-class: it's nice that the letter `i` has all these form variants, but they're not applied as soon as a diacritic comes into play (`ï`, `î`, etc.).

The same letter with and without a diacritic (eg. `e` and `é`) don't even look the same, letting the user with the feeling that this potential need has not even been considered.

EDIT: According to http://input.fontbureau.com/info/ maybe I'm missing something and my criticism only applies to the online demo.

I love it!

As someone else also mentioned in the comments, it is unapologetically dynamic. In many ways, this reminds me of Perl. The array destructuring assignment is such a common pattern in that language (eg. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/caller.html)

What's even more exciting/terrifying is that ES6 goes even beyond the patterns allowed in Perl!

I find it amusing that the photo at the top of the article shows a display exclusively consisting of German and Swedish-branded vacuum cleaners.

The [...] claim of having mapped music to fighting is not yet substantiated.

(project and article co-author here)

Hopefully our writing does not come across as too much of a claim that we reached the single one and only best way to map music to fighting!

Our goal was to bring the most fun from both these worlds combined. Not an easy proposal to make, and obviously a personal one.

The overwhelmingly positive reactions from the audience during the public performance really made our day and validated this proposal to our eyes, but we'd be even happier if the project lived on with third parties pitching in other music/game metaphors. This is why we made it 100% open source/open hardware.

Speaking of the audience, we noticed that people were intimidated or thrilled by the possibility to play piano, others by the possibility to play a Street Fighter game, usually on a mutually exclusive basis. But if they dared to come and play, a balance could be quickly reached, and we considered this a success.

Obviously, it was't always the case. Some moments were just plain unlistenable.

But some other moments during were pure magic. We would like to give immense credit to pianists Alvise Sinivia and Léo Jassef (who appear in the video) from the Conservatoire National de Paris. They are incredibly talented musicians, and they played with our installation long enough that they knew the combos inside and out. It was an absolute delight to see and hear them play/fight during the public event.

PS: Thanks a lot for the Monty Python video :-)

Thank you scott_s for quoting _these_ words from the post. They are our most sincere attempt to express why we even put so much effort developing the idea. It is great and humbling that they come across as such.

Also, for France, Saint-Exupery's body of work will only enter the public domain in 2032. This is the result of a law that extends copyright in the special case when an author dies for their country.

I'm sorry to digress, but...
