       | From an artistic standpoint, I think the greatest obstacle to

       | This is an interesting attempt to make such performances more
       | accessible. But I wonder if livecoding will remain niche until
       | such time as the general public becomes "code literate".

       | and following the "live coding" hyperlink yields:

       | 
       | so, whew, all those folks who say "project name collision!" got
       | their beer held :sob:
