Git Sim creator Jacob Stopak is back with an even more ambitious project than his original tool to visualize Git commands. This time, he's putting everyone's favorite, but difficult to conceptualize, distributed version control system into a Minecraftian voxel world so you can explore a repo's history in 3D.

Juan Diego Rodriguez does a great job laying out all the details on how they work, such as they can have type checking, they can have list arguments, they can not return early, etc., and imagining cool use cases for them. He thinks the future is bright. Quote, there will be a time when our cyborg children ask us from their education pods, Is it true you guys didn't have functions in CSS?
