Postscript is pretty neat IMHO and it’s Turing complete. I really appreciated my raytraced page finally coming out of that poor HP laser after an hour or so.

I once sent a Sierpinski's Triangle postscript program to a shared printer. It took 90 minutes, and pissed off everybody else trying to print.

One of the very first SVG documents I encountered was a port of the PS Tiger to SVG. It loaded a lot faster than the PostScript Tiger.

PostScript can emulate the ZMachine (Zork text adventures and all of infocom) with "zmachine.ps". Look it up at DDG/GG.

A monad. It’s just a class of abstract Endor Moon or something. Probably you have to send all commands up to the current state to it. :)
