Developer builds viral 3D source code visualizer that consumes 21GB of RAM — flies around 2.5 million lines of code at over 120 frames per second
A developer has built a 3D code visualizer.
Rik Arends, the creator of Makepad, has developed a 3D visualizer for source code that can handle 2.5 million lines at over 120 frames per second. This innovative software, which is still in development, initially required 21 GB of RAM but has since been optimized to use only 3.5 GB. Despite the visualizer's impressive capabilities, its practical utility is questionable. Arends plans to turn the tool into a commercial product, but acknowledges that the value of the visualization may be limited.
