A live recording of Immediate Railways, a 256-byte intro by Digimind shown at the Function 2015 demoparty. It renders a moving 3D railway scene from a program smaller than a tweet.

HN people offer it as proof that the minimalist demoscene is alive, with a crowd reaction worth watching.

The minimalist scene is still out there, it's just a niche within a niche. For instance, here's a demo from 2015, done in immediate mode and 256 bytes - I've got a feeling you'll enjoy it as much as the live audience clearly do: ▶ this video For another recent example, also in 2015 some wizards managed to coax 1024 colours (among other impressive visual effects) out of an original IBM PC - as in, hardware from 1981: link
