Decent introduction to the concept of different infinities to the layperson.

However, this line:

had me pretty excited I was about to read some brand new development. Alas, there is absolutely nothing new in this piece.

Re:Ask HN: What game do you wish existed? on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @01:28PM (#31507668)
Oh man, the first time I read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH when I was a kid, I was enthralled. My best friend and I would always play that we were the rats and had to hide from the humans while improvising tools, gathering food, and building a base. This reminds me of that and of how fun/creative a game like that could be.
I, too, missed that in the README. I was curious enough try it out in a vm. Here's the output for fib.li: https://termbin.com/pagk Or for something more complex, raytracing.sh: https://termbin.com/4rpd

I was mostly wondering how/if it does any type checks for function input; it does not. Also raytracing.sh unfortunately fails to run on my system as it is.
