using it for composing generative functionality, a bit like in node-based programming

• related to Computational DAGs
• maybe related to signal-collect and other graph computation algorithms
• maybe related to Petri Nets
• I like how code is expressed as "layers", borrowing from graphical applications (some other interesting prompts in this direction in VPL Issues:

  <script>
  export let inner = 0.5;
  export let outer = 0.75;
  export let vertices = 10;
  
  // ...
  
  <Props>
    <Slider label="Sides" bind:value={vertices} min={5} max={20} step={1} />
    <Slider label="Inner Radius" bind:value={inner} min={0} max={2} step={0.01} />
    <Slider label="Outer Radius" bind:value={outer} min={0} max={2} step={0.01} />
  </Props>

  • related DAG and Tree Representations of Code, and the ideas of creating UIs based on that representation - toggling layers, moving them around, etc.
