It's called Code Monkey - coding to lyrics that generates the actual lyrics once compiled. It's something to see, rather than explain. And yes, the result is an actual program than runs on desktop and mobile devices!

since matching code to human language has been out for years)

I foresee the video back-firing at pascal developers: "Are you a pascal (delphi) developer? - go sign about it!" or "Pascal (delphi) developers) are real code monkeys".

All in all, if the best application of a language is to create a song video, we're at the dusk of programming languages evolution. Or maybe at the dawn of the regression.

But still the video is worth seeing (... and porting to Lazarus)

thanks,

And yes.. the video explains the purpose (and critical need) of '&' identifiers

(win32 tested)

Sadly enough, the GUI version is using Application.ProcessMessages! You might find that it runs "nonblocking" proc (with fancy anonymous/closure functions used), but in the end it all executes in the main loop running ProcessMessages.

As a matter of fact, the same result could be achieved with TTimer used - just wait for the first timer event and then sign the song (with ProcessMessages)
