On my Android phone, at least, this can already be achieved with a double-tap of sorts.

Is that an actual figure or just a tongue-in-cheek quote from the CEO?

Some sample inputs–outputs would be great.

This seems to be more a criticism of Khan Academy's live Processing editor.

The negative letter spacing is a little jarring imo.

The mechanic is different.

  eval(document.write("hello world!"))

Do you really want to be doing this when you're 50?

The crispEdges circle doesn't look good – but it's certainly not “blurry”.

The second one was a hoax.

I think his statement was more light-hearted than interpreted here.

Sounds like a very convoluted way of generating random faces.
