I didn't know about Context Free Art.

Is it similar to "Processing"(http://processing.org), isn't it?

Also, didn't know about that mailing list. Applying for registration right away!

Here's a gross over simplification:

Context Free Art is a custom replacement grammar designed specifically for making images.

Processsing is a superset of Java, designed for producing digital art projects.

I'd say both are geared heavily toward ease of use, while still allowing a lot of power to those willing to get their hands dirty. I use both tangentially in teaching intro CS.

So you are now the academically recognised Andrew Doull? Perhaps the University can give you an honorary doctorate some time ;)

In all seriousness though, it does go to show the quality of writing here that a university would include one of your best articles in its course. Well done :)
