I was reading Peter Shirley's little book Ray Tracing in One Weekend which provides code in C and for fun wanted to try to implement it in Reason. Source code is available here.

I can't think of many reasons you'd want to do ray tracing in JavaScript, but for now this was a fun little weekend project.
