Edward Kandrot’s Programming Blog

I had been obsessed with Ray Tracing the past week-ish.  I wrote a basic one in Erlang, so I could learn more about this interesting language.  It was kind of slow, it took 50 seconds to generate this image:

   Then I picked up a book on F# last Sunday and started over.  F# is kind of interesting, and definitely generates much faster code.  I was able to get many more features into my F# version.  See these images:

 I will post more about my experiences with these languages as well as more about the images.  Mostly, I am testing to see if the blog software works. It doesn’t.
