  1. The Computational Beauty of Nature it's similar and it has the code of the book there: https://github.com/gwf/CBofN Some tools might crash X under CWM for OpenBSD, switch to FVWM or use some tool like mimalloc. On Lisp, the book basically…

  8. On C, compilers in the 90's sucked up a bit, and the code wasn't much better. Consider this: https://github.com/gwf/CBofN This code crashed CWM under OpenBSD 7.2, but it worked under FVWM. And, still, the fractal generating time was…
