Postscript is also literally just a text based programming language for drawing stuff. You can create loops and recursions and all kinds of crazy transformations with a few lines of code.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I made an interactive map: drew in Inkscape, gave the interactive elements numbers for ids, then substituted the id='xxx' in vim with the php code and js function calls, picking up the number from the id tag and inserting it appropriately in php code and function arguments. 250 interactive elements taken care of in a single vim substitute. My bestest development power move yet :D
Damn, I actually did not know that. I thought it was just an image file.
It's both of those things

Yeah, it depends on if you view source
