(Edit: oh wow, it’s really heartening to read how POVRay has such a positive impact on so many others as well, almost 30 years ago!)

There is a special place in my heart for POVray. After BBC Basic, it was the first coding I ever did all the way back in ‘94.

The thrill of changing an object from opaque to glass, and the anticipation of watching the ray scan grind to a treacle-like pace as it passed over any glass objects. Happier times, simpler times!

May it live forever.
