I find something profound in recursive descent parsing, both the idea of it and the coding of it. For me it's one of the more beautiful things in mathematics, let alone computing.

Recursive polygon subdivision inspired by thin-section mineralogy...
(The area of each polygon is mapped to a color from a gradient. Made with thi.ng/geom, see next message for example & source code...)

Stop frame animation of a randomized abstract composition of initially thousands of small polygons, slowly converging into only a handful of larger cells/shards. The animation shows the recursive subdivision process in reverse order, i.e. the larger cells at the end are actually some of the first polygons created by randomly slicing the seed polygon (a circular 40-gon). The area/size of each individual poly is mapped to a color from a gradient, with small polys in orange/yellow/pink and large o…
