The imperfections simulate the effects of finite-bandwidth deflection
amplifiers. Works great.
I'm willing to bet that there are few other languages that could pull it off in as few lines of code. Even with something like Python, since graphics aren't native, you end up using one of the windowing toolkits such as wxGTK or wxPython, and "just making a stupid plot" tends to consume a lot more code than one might expect.
over if you want to port to a new platform.
paid. Why would I want to port it to another platform?
If I did it in C, would the Windows version be directly portable to
Linux... graphics and all?
The only sorta-platform independent language I know of that does
graphics and such is Java. And it's slow. More importantly, it
requires gui interface programming, a lot of hassle.

Great for printed graphics, less useful for on-screen graphics.
