functional geometry

I was reading about functional geometry and got to this interesting page:
http://www.frank-buss.de/lisp/functional.html

The guy implements an Escher painting using LISP and functional geometry!

Very neat. Interesting that one can see the blocking effect from the LISP output too, Escher had used carved wood blocks to make the print. LISP is perfect for this.

Very neat. It's just a shame he used lists instead of structs. Then he could've used with-accessors instead of destructuring-bind. Not only would that be more readable, the code should run more efficiently too.

Oh, well. I still like it. Wink
