Making a lot of things
summary
An experimental coding environment called cojs live evaluates small editable cells by tokenizing input, building ASTs and using Recast AST to preserve whitespace, bundling results into an iframe so expressions return values; multiple cells form a dependency graph for lazy reevaluation and fork propagation supports hierarchical forks that inherit or block upstream edits. Other concrete builds include a WebGL learning series, a Cardboard October set of demos, a flat‑bed scanner installation with eight scanners, and quick microhacks finished by publishing.
