That is Don Lancaster ... I know, I have seen his site. The PostScript graphics model has long been superseded by worthy successors, like Cairo. I did my own Python binding for Cairo <https://gitlab.com/ldo/qahirah>, which adds things like vectors, matrices and colours as first-class objects--beyond what Cairo itself, as a C- language-based library, can do. What I am interested in here is the PostScript language itself, and how it can be modernized.
