The Tower of Babel v3.0
summary
Argument claims that polyglot tooling yields more expressive results and shows concrete wins: early experiments on a 6502 led to playable demos; a generative identity renderer runs on Amazon at scale using Closure and OpenCL to render frames with up to 720 million points per frame so many frames go to cloud instances; an exhibition pipeline totals 25,000 lines of code across Java/OpenCV Flash and WebGL, uses camera-readable lab tags and worked end to end; demos include voxel 3D prints, reaction‑diffusion maps and FPGA/Parallella hardware notes.
