[x3d-public] It gets funnier and funnier. A complex narrative

Here’s what’s even funnier.  Most of X3DJSONLD.* and my serializers are
based on DOM.  I pass a JavaScript object into X3DJSONLD.* and get back a
DOM document.  Then I pass the DOM to my serializers and produce Java, C++,
Pascal, JavaScript, Python, ….  I also pass DOM to X3DOM, X_ITE and
X3DJSAIL.

I learned my lesson dealing with JavaScript objects writing the
three-x3d-loader, protoexpander, parsing JSON into x3d.py, writing out JSON
from x3d.py a JavaScript game server and the script rewriter.  That s__t
ain’t easy.  JSON is good for stuff, like, CSV data and building
hierarchical ROUTE-JavaScript proxies.

The fact that Khronos has managed to create a relational database out of
JSON is marvelous.  I just didn’t know that databases and graphics had
anything to do with each other except in Excel and Power BI.  Note: 2D
graphics.  At least Pixar has the right idea with USD, but is it as fast as
a relational database?  Why didn’t Khronos choose numpy?  I heard Pixar was
going to combine glTF and USD into US-DB.  Get your kicks on KHR_ROUTE_DB
when Khronos adds interactivity to glTF, can you say 3DB triggers?  It’s
all about integer relationships, I mean foreign keys.

Now that I think about it, AI is a big spreadsheet! Or the other way
around?   Oracle is going to make a big push to formalize the SQL3D
standard, nevermind that it’s patented.  Oracle bought the prior art
written in Perl and plans to release Graal.pl/SQL.  They’ll integrate
DBI::JDBC with Java3D (no one could get OpenJFX to work).

How is everyone “React”ing to the Metaverse?  Omniverse is gobbling up the
business.   If only we could have MetaZoom for Web3D, then we could get
some 3D business done!  Or Horizons it is!

==== Open Service Announcement ======
Sewing Discord in your Slack life?  Maybe you want to try some Language
Independent Relay Communications (it has JSON and CSV together)?  Collect
information on card games you invent and play, HTML 3.2 Chat,  Multiple
User Polygon Editing!  Security nightmare!  Drink your Java while it’s
still HotJava!
==================================

Aren’t we all doing multivariate time series analysis?
