Reminds me of the SuperCollider audio "album" of tracks encoded under the old 140 character limit. I still often use this for coding background music.<p><a href="https://supercollider.github.io/community/sc140" rel="nofollow">https://supercollider.github.io/community/sc140</a>
I am a huge fan of Wilkinson's Grammar of Graphics and Hadley's implementation of them in ggplot2. Thanks for sharing this; it helps demo the power of the grammar. Since learning GG it has made me think of plotting in an additive fashion instead of before when Excel would do most of it for me and I would often be forced to remove layers I didn't need.
If 280 characters is way too bloated (and you love reverse polish notation (and who doesn't)) you can try stackie<p><a href="https://github.com/Lerc/stackie" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Lerc/stackie</a><p>image viewer <a href="http://fingswotidun.com/stackie/?code=yx%2F1%3Cx!-~&palette=xy4*p1%2B2%2Fx*q" rel="nofollow">http://fingswotidun.com/stackie/?code=yx%2F1%3Cx!-~&palette=...</a><p>or images directly served from url code <a href="http://stackie.fingswotidun.com/yx%2F1%3Cx!-~xy8wxy99*w+9/+&xy*x+e" rel="nofollow">http://stackie.fingswotidun.com/yx%2F1%3Cx!-~xy8wxy99*w+9/+&...</a>

That's a great site, thanks. It's not common finding such artistic taste, programming/mathematical skill, and capacity to explain well, in the same person.
They are using external libraries... I can't tell if it's a joke but if it's not then no, you didn't do it in less than 280 characters. Otherwise I can generate the mona lisa with 3 characters: m()
