The demo exploits this to build a tiny ray-caster that renders as compiler errors or types. It’s wildly impractical, but a great reminder that enough expressiveness plus recursion tends to drift toward Turing completeness.</span><br /> +<br /> +<h2 style='display: inline' id='run-it-in-a-pdf'>Run it in a PDF</h2><br /> +<br /> +<h3 style='display: inline' id='22-doom-inside-a-pdf'>22.

The demo exploits this to build a tiny ray-caster that renders as compiler errors or types. It’s wildly impractical, but a great reminder that enough expressiveness plus recursion tends to drift toward Turing completeness.</span><br /> +<br /> +<h2 style='display: inline' id='run-it-in-a-pdf'>Run it in a PDF</h2><br /> +<br /> +<h3 style='display: inline' id='22-doom-inside-a-pdf'>22.
