[–] BasDirks 15y ago ↗ Fantastic, without taking away from the beauty of the performances: this is like Sesame Street for hackers!
[–] nickik 15y ago ↗ Omg, i just used O(n^2) time to watch that. Why could they do quick or mergesort.(Parallel Mergesort as a dance would be pretty cool!)

[–] gaius 15y ago ↗ I have friends in Romania, I showed them this and they assure me that this is how CS is taught there. What a country!
[–] bromley 15y ago ↗ I was thinking how painfully slow it was, until I remembered the adage: "make it work, then make it elegant, then make it fast."It works, and it is certainly elegant.
