A decade ago I first presented a lightning talk entitled
Cool Code. This short talk evolved into a full talk whose iterations I presented over the next half decade. The focus? Code that, for some reason or other, can be considered cool. For example, code that has played a significant role in historical events, such as the source for the Apollo Guidance Computer. Or code that is audacious if not seemingly impossible given its constraints, such as David Horne’s 1K chess. There is code that is both simple and profound, such as Peter Norvig’s fits-on-a-slide spelling corrector. And code that demonstrates ingenuity and humour, such as Yusuke Endoh’s Qlobe.
