Building Docker images with Nix, and a neat discussion of graphing algorithms to decide how to flatten layers:

Croquet was a 3D world written in Smalltalk. There's a promo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOZPW8l85eI It's very exploratory, but the demos of a spreadsheet(!) with the 3D graphing and a live video avatar are really cute.
