Having colors for different classes of code fragment just helps to reduce the amount of processing of the code in the brain. Seems to me that this is a win, at least it is for me.
In daily life I use a very colorful scheme (darcula on steroids) and just thinking about monochrome makes my head hurt.
I had this idea a while back and made a puzzlegame for Android and iOs that does basically this.
The idea is to create puzzles on ANY subject that contain words relating to that subject.
- let user type, search wikipedia for articles starting with that text
- grab selected article, find out words in it that are links to other articles (they are probably related)
- generate a puzzle
I also do random placement, but I also add a score to the final puzzle, taking into account spread in vertical/horizontal/diagonal words. Then I just create as many random puzzles as I can in 4 seconds and take 'the best'.
I've been eating our own type of soylent for the past year and a half now. 2 per day, morning and noon, and 'normal' dinner. The type I eat is ketogenic (meaning low carb).
I have to conclude that I feel better than ever before. Where previously I ate very monotonic (and one could argue, I still do), I did not get all the nutrients I should. I now do, and feel pretty damn good.
I do feel soylent is the future, but there are many varieties.
In my circles, the whole movement has sparked a lot of discussion, and many people close to me are now eating all kinds of soylent, homemade, joylent, jake shake etc.
Let's hope that someday the whole 'fat is bad' concept leaves the mainstream, it does not seem to do a lot of good.
Btw the variety I eat costs below 5 euros per day, with 2100 calories. And I think it tastes pretty great. Only wins.
