Here's my attempt done a long time ago, not very polished:

Even for that, the actual Mandelbrot calculations were the smaller part. It's really amazing how such a trivially simple formula spawns such endless complexity.

I'll add my julia attempt that animates and works with webgl:

Complexity is trivial. That's the lesson here. It's human perception that's special. It's special in that it has an uncommonly low bar on what's considered impressively complex.

Which implies something important, no doubt.
