Hot-swapping code during rendering
I'm using a Java-based raytracer (Sunflow), and I just remembered that the debugger in Elipse supported hot swapping for code in method bodies. Not so obvious next steps: pause the rendering thread, edit my subdivision algorithm, unpause, repeat. After all these years of thinking about livecoding, how did I forget that Java supported it?
