 No I did not (yet)!

I messed around with it a while back. Interesting for sure. Give it a go when you get some free time to burn. :^)

Pretty interesting... :^)

 Important for me, before I dive into all that, is what it can do, advantage it can give in things I code or problems I try to solve.
I will look up more of their examples...
Python is not my thing, asm and C is OK :-)

Fwiw, I used to do a lot of asm programming for mostly x86, SPARC and PPC. Here is some of my older code for x86. It was for a thread synchronization experiment of mine:

Those were fun times. Sun actually gave me a SunFire T2000 server for doing good in the CoolThreads contest wrt my vZoom project:

Way back in 2006. Wow, time does tick on by... ;^o
