very cool precedent. Good to see some critical rewriting of history going on still.

for 1976 (from the paper), super prescient:
"performance graphics, especially the jamming variety, requires constant real-time debugging with two hundred people looking over your shoulder,"

the video doesn't show projected code as centre stage, just their chosen control method on the side for interactive programming, but still very impressive.
