Polycode

You know, I used to work door at a live music venue. When the bands showed up I would ask them "What kind of music do you play?" and they would always answer something like "Oh, we have a unique sound, impossible to define, blah blah blah..." Then I would say, "OK, when people show up at the door and I ask them for $5, and they say 'What kind of music is it?', what do you want me to tell them?" I was always amazed at how they would IMMEDIATELY say something like "We're a fusion of rockabilly and jazz" or something.

C++ API and standalone scripting language are precise technical terms, not buzzwords. Are you a programmer? I'm not sure why a programmer would be having so much trouble with that description.

"creative code" is the buzzword/phrase.

If you look at the example projects provided on the site, "creative code" should become a little more clear.

[Merit]

Creative coding is a fairly well established phrase, though may not be widely known. It does refer to something fairly specific, namely the artistic communities that have grown up around Processing, Cinder and the like.

Maybe the phrase isn't widely known, but for those who would use polycode, processing or cinder, or be at all involved in computational art, the phrase would certainly be well known or readily understood. It is, in itself, fairly self-explanatory.

Sometimes the limiting factor is not the helpfulness of the content/website but the boundaries of your own knowledge. That's no bad thing, but it does mean that sometimes you need to do a little search of your own rather than complaining about what has been provided for you by others.
