Project mention: The Montreal Problem: Why Programming Languages Need a Style Czar | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-15Some people's brains just work this way. Here's an example of a somewhat popular and regularly maintained library written in a similar style: https://github.com/enkimute/ganja.js/blob/6e97cb45d780cd7c66...
Once your learn to recognise the commonalities, you'll see examples everywhere. The most extreme and stereotypical version is the billboards written by some homeless people. You can probably picture it already in your mind's eye: A wall of very dense text with little whitespace or structure, and a mix of fonts and colours seemingly at random.
I had a brilliant mathematician friend who wrote like this. He would squeeze and entire semester's worth of study notes into a single sheet of paper, on one side. It was impenetrable gibberish to everyone else, but the colours and 2D positioning let him build a mental mind-map.
For people like this, if you reformat their code even a tiny bit, their mental map is invalidated, and they lose track of it completely and become upset. I discovered this (the hard way) when applying automatic code formatting tools to the codebases I mentioned previously.
Personally, I find this type of thing to be absolutely fascinating, because it's the intersection of many fields of study, and hence is under-studied. There's elements of pedagogy, psychology, literacy, compute science, etc...
It's an open question how we can get large groups of neurodiverse humans to collaborate on a codebase when they don't even "read" or "think" in compatible ways!
For those interested, this appears to be a really high quality library that provides a 3D PGA C++ API:

I've always wanted to find an excuse to rebuild some projects at work around this.
