Awesome Sauce gifsockets!!!11 (Vimeo video). Using clojure to create a streaming animated GIF that sends varying text strings to the browser.
At the github page for gifsockets they note:
"This library is the websockets of the '90s" - Somebody at Hacker News.
Especially amusing 'cause I just started playing with Meteor server and real-time web stuff.

While kewl, something about streaming text in a gif makes my skin crawl.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
