A comment on Tweet-a-Program.

It could have just been “pick a computable algorithm that our framework’s UI can render”.

Until I don’t see a meaningful program, which answers to a few use cases of a user, I wouldn’t take that serious.

Edit: And the abuse of a framework is also something misleading, it is like saying “make an OS in a tweet” and then tweeting: “git clone linux.git && make all && kexec kernel”

This comment doesn't feel useful. Do you only want to see bytes I can pop in the bootsector?

Maybe you should define what a program is, which is something over an OS, below a plug-in to a framework and interfaces with a user in order to provide a value or interface.

Edit: If my comment is unuseful, how useful is a non standalone program which represents a graph of random values for no purpose at all?

This comment feels even less useful.
