Just added an update to the script. Now you can also specify the colors to use. Oddly enough the asciinema demo thumbnail is no longer rendering correctly on the github readme. Please click on the link to see the demo.

Umm forget about the content, I got hooked in the first paragraph itself on the style! Not many put effort into writing these days. The flavour of that phrasing was pleasing enough for me to come back and write this. /me heads back to

My comment itself is a good demonstration of the point I was trying to make. I anticipated the possibility of misunderstanding or misinterpretation of my first statement and put in the time to add the second to qualify my point. I did not i

comp.lang.c still used to be the one true place for c programmers to hang out at back when I started learning it in the 90s, not sure if that's the case these days.

Fwiw I think the emphasis on the ability to write code instead of ability to read and understand it has been given disproportionate importance when the reality is that we spend a lot of time (perhaps even more time) reading rather that than
