The PlsExplain programming language attaches a comment to every value that propagates with the value. Kinda cool.
> In the early days, a number of terms for the practitioners in computing were suggested in the Communications of the ACM: turingineer, turologist, flow-charts-man, applied meta-mathematician, and applied epistemologist, comptologist, hypologist, computics has also been suggested.
"Turingineers" sound much cooler than software engineers. "Our comptologists are busy turingineering a new software package for that..." Too bad it didn't become a thing (but that would also be discriminatory to functional programmers, I guess).
Calligraphy is a great way to practice other languages.

Have you ever been watching a video of a photo-realistic digital avatar and been really impressed at how well they programmed blinks and facial expressions, but remained critical of the hair textures and facial deformation, only to realize you're looking at a video recording of an actual human person?
I have.
