The main audience is people who are interested in creating STEM visualizations (e.g. educators, academics), but I think it can be fun for anyone to try.
AI-written animation DSL with procedural bezier curves and spring physics, but output is still cartoon-level.
Finally, an animated visualization of kube-scheduler filter plugins that doesn't suck.
Real JPL ephemerides data with Earth-Moon reference frames and accurate sunlight rendering.
Natural-language keywords plus implicit file metadata in loops make common file tasks unexpectedly readable, and the built-in --dry-run and explicit error reporting show a sensible safety-first design. It isn't revolutionary — PowerShell and dozens of RPA/DSL tools exist — but as a compact, distributable exe for teams that loathe terse shell one-liners it’s a practical, usable effort; the main gaps are cross-platform clarity and a larger ecosystem of libraries/examples.
New security DSL with built-in recon primitives, but Python already does this.
Yet another CLI test framework; BATS, Aruba, and pytest-shell already solve this.
