About this repository

This repository contains code and build files in many languages. Currently supported are C, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Javascript. PRs for other languages are welcome.

We use SVGs for output, because SVGs

• are just text files; they don't require many dependencies to generate and view
• are declarative (vis-a-vis a rendering API)
• are human readable
• can be rendered in any modern browser
• can be inspected and edited in browsers' dev tools
• have much in common with HTML; can be styled with CSS and scripted with JS
