I read a good way down thinking this was some kind of highly metaphorical blog post about the programming language Julia

I have a recording of le temps des cerises by Charles Trenet, which I picked up after hearing his music on a movie soundtrack. Anyway, this is a song one could imagine playing in the void, echoing the end of everything. A little melancholy, a little sweet. Pairs will with fractals.

I assume this is a sort of poem about the programming language Julia...

;-)

The narrative style reminds me of the novel-game Caves of Qud. Very well done.

this completely sucked me in after skimming half a paragraph while unsure what to expect. very golden age, thanks for the link!

i liked this a lot. real Gene Wolfe vibes.

Needs a twist or a reason to care about the characters.
