When I am trying out a new data visualization platform or programming language, I like to try to draw phyllotaxis spirals as a sort of "Hello World." My latest "Hello Phyllotaxis" came about during the early stages of learning how to use D3js. You can try it out here.

Here is a "Hello Phyllotaxis" for Desmos (blog post here). Over the years I have also pointed to phyllotaxis-like sketches using Fathom here, Processing here, and R here.
In the image above, the dark circles are chosen by skip-counting out from the center - in this case, skip counting by 11 (see #6 in this post).
Below is a brief visual roundup of how this little "program" displays on the various platforms I have tried it on.
