A Walk in the Lindenmayer Fractal Forests with a Kotlin Notebook | Maia Grotepass

Recording brought to you by American Express. americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
Some pieces of Kotlin code are better discovered through exploration. Code for a Lindenmayer system (Lsystem) is an example of this. These systems can generate beautiful organic looking fractal structures. A few small tweaks cause unexpected variety: perfect for experimentation. Kotlin Notebooks are especially suited for experimental and exploratory coding.
This talk will showcase the use of Kotlin Notebooks to draw a series of Lsystem trees. It will be a live code session in IntelliJ with a shareable Kotlin Notebook as a result.
You do not need to be a data scientist to enjoy this talk.
The audience will:
See Kotlin Notebooks in action with the focus on reusable canvas drawing
See an iterative coding workflow that explores code and visuals
Learn about Lindenmayer systems
Receive a link to the talk Notebook which they can copy and modify to continue the experiments in their own time.

Wonderful talk. Combines code, math and art so gracefully. Really shows how notebooks make code into an artistic tool of expression.

Amazing talk, thank you! Now i want to experiment with all of this myself.

Wow, thanks for this walk! :D

[@ilyaglaz7632]

Very impressive!

[@MaxWeninger]

So now you can do what you can do with Jupyter notebooks in Python for years? :)

But with static typing, MUCH BETTER IDE help, a way faster language, and all of the JVM libraries available to you
