just had this wave of realisation that there are 100s upon 100s of experimental niche programming langs, interfaces, operating systems, graphical toolkits, level editors, music trackers, etc that nor me or anyone on gur internet will ever see, bc theyre unpublished prototypes, sitting on peoples personal macines, often limitted, janky, poorly documented, etc.
these things have value! im one of those authors, and hear similar people made similar things!
but ofc we never saw each others creations
