Guessing re-posted to HN because showed up on ars technica.[1]

Could this be considered some of the first 'application ports' to support e-ink[2]?

Wonder how long it'll take to get native webasm (vs. java script) to run under pdf. (and/or os pdfs -- assuming no Sun NeWS[3] windows issues.)

--- edit from HN item id=42678754 : Looks like just as soon as one compiles webasm[11] under jslinux[4].

javascript[5] to binary lambda for 3d printed 'running/working' hard copy[6][7]. aka show/present how arrived at results.

Or translate to spool-able mechanical program[8].

Accurately simulating pong ball for 3d printed game of pong[9] without using flipdots approach might a challenge.

But, [10] might be useful visual higher order logic simulation to build/show/simulate what's going to be 3d printed.
