Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for the great PopCap games over the years. I sunk a lot of hours into Insaniquarium, Peggle, etc.

I'm really enjoying this renaissance of "C replacement" languages like Beef, Jai, Zig, Rust, etc. It would be cool to have a table comparing them all, hyperpolyglot-style.

PopCap games were great. My brother and my dad would co-op play Bookworm Adventures together for hundreds of hours.

Also you reminded me that the Insaniquarium Screensaver was the original cookie clicker.
