Why Learn to Program?

It's fun!

This took me about 8 hours from starting with an idea to generating graphics to getting code written: http://www.pleco-is-bored.com/

Best viewed in google chrome or firefox.

*edit*

Up to about 12 hours now with the addition of sliders and opacity.

Damn, Pleco, That's epic!

If only it could be a desktop background. XD
Kinda like the matrix, except they're letters and not numbers.
Btw, which programming language did you use to make it?

Site framework: django
Glyph generating code: python
Glyph animation on the site: javascript

And this is what inspired me to start learning code

The Plecotrix.

As an update to this, I've moved the "rain" effect to this site:

Thanks, Pleco!

Btw, Just out of curiosity, what languages do you know/are skilled in?
