Not that I doubt the value of the work, and the reasoning of its performance directly affecting common operations makes intuitive sense, but I would have liked to hear more about what concrete problems were being solved. Was there any interesting data across the V8 ecosystem about `JSON.stringify` dominating runtimes?

Many years ago, I wrote a blog -- no longer online, I'm afraid -- about how I associated different programming languages with different shapes. I've never heard of this effect before today, but it visualises almost perfectly what I was trying to express all those years ago. (I originally posited that it was some form of synaesthesia.)
For example, Python has a rounded or smoother shape, whereas C-style languages are more kiki-like (with JavaScript being the spikiest); Haskell, IIRC, had a squarish lump kind of appearance. I originally wrote myself off, thinking that maybe the shapes very loosely correspond to how the code looks in each language "from a distance", but I was never really satisfied with that.
You could check if it made it into archive.org?
According to this video which consulted the available research on the topic (and has links to the actual research papers in the description), the legibility of Tiresias for people with impaired vision is unfounded (Can’t look for the specific research right now because I’m on the go):
I had also seen criticism of it here: https://screenfont.ca/learn/

I notice the author is using the wallpaper from Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), released in April 2008.
It requires macOS 13.0 (High Sierra, 2017) or later, which is several releases after it stopped being called OS X. 10.11 (El Capitan, 2015) was the last OS X.
