Very cool. I wander how it compares to the ray tracer in the K language (or the other examples), with the trivial 7 lines of code: http://www.ffconsultancy.com/languages/ray_tracer/ Or..: a simple ray tracer in PHP http://quaxio.com/raytracer/ "in PHP (around 1500 lines of code). The code is open source and available on my github." -- Palli.
