What can you actually do with programming? (lemmy.world)

So recently I've stumbled upon a video, where a guy creates an animation by programming it with maanim.

And after that I also found a way to create music with programming too.

So I'm wondering.. What else can you actually create using programming? Besides the obvious software, VR, AR and all that

You can use imageMagick to create pictures from scratch. As it's a parameters configuration, and the exemple you gave are frameworks based.

But I prefer create pictures with SVG, it has animation, interaction..., this kind of programmation is more permisive and portable 😂.
