This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.

Haven’t commented in years but I came to say this is an incredible video.

I think the uncanny valley of this video as a makeshift 90s infomercial captures the audience and sells the product!

Caveat: vaporwave is one of my favorite genres so take this with a grain of salt.

I am very glad you enjoyed it. I am definitely a fan of uncanny valley vibes too, maybe that Backrooms movie subconsciously influenced me when I made the demo. With all of my open source projects I try to have as much fun with it as possible and I definitely had fun making that video.
It is strange which is why it is great. So refreshing to not see another instance of corporate videoslop.
Yeah, it has me wondering why this project is trying to entertain me with a video.
Has there ever been an IDE demo video with better music?
It's actually an original piece of music that I custom made for the demo so I am glad you liked it : )
The intro to Erlang: The Movie has a pretty boss anthem. (if you squint, Erlang/OTP is kind of an IDE, when you live in the REPL) https://youtu.be/xrIjfIjssLE
That video is the perfect amount of awkward. I love it.
