       | Inconvergent [0] (maker of Weir) sells art [1] and it's
       | beautiful! I bought a piece from him and I proudly hang it up
       | next to my Lisp machines.
       | 
       | His code is very much his own personal playground. He hacks on it
       | like crazy to make it do the artistic things he wants. He's very
       | aware the code isn't the prettiest, and sometimes mocks himself
       | [2] about it on Twitter. What's neat is that the code is a sort
       | of continuously living experiment in techniques for doing high-
       | quality generative art. I love seeing the demos he puts out from
       | time to time. I even had the gumption to make a small PR to the
       | code when he decided to open-source it. :)
       | 
       | Props to him for caring most about the end result, and only
       | occasionally incidentally about the cool tool he uses as a part
       | of that process.

       | This is amazing! Is there a comparable package maybe in Python?
