:::::: I have no idea exactly what it's trying to show. Sorenson has a bunch of these on his Vimeo channel. The video uploaded here only works for me ''with audio'' if I download the ogv (click more) an play it in VLC. The audio is 6-channel Vorbis, which is rather uncommon, I suspect. Triggers a known Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521615]. Another good reason to remove it. There should be a much simpler example in this article.

::::::: Oh, my. I downloaded VLC and now I get audio. It's like listening to someone who doesn't know how to play the piano try to play the piano — one bad note at a time. There's no voiceover to give even a hint what's going on. I don't know how it could be more pointless. [[Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 June 6|Nominated for deletion]].

::::Using callback methods is a standard feature, actually this is closer to a database trigger. The code itself says nothing about the actual features of the environment, but how to use it. Programming languages work by adjusting to particular conventions (in this case the one from Scheme) in order to achieve a purpose, but that makes that the code rarely reflects such purpose, it is instead a collection of esoteric words that only developers make use of. For developers, the framework should provide documentation or an API as part of their product offering, but for a Wikipedia article such information is too specialized - [[User:Frankie|frankie]] ([[User talk:Frankie|talk]]) 17:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
