Reminds me of japanese anime Dennō Coil, where kids would draw computer programs almost exactly like the author’s on the floor and invoke them as some kind of enchantement. Highly recommend it!

Awesome.

Dude, the Laundry is trying to relax on the weekend. Don’t make them call the Plumbers out.

Very cool!

Torres Quevedo did it first but with symbols on mechanic hardware and processes.

Also, Babbage with literal gears. Look up for electromechanical computation.

cool!!!

This must be the preferred programming language of the otherworldly main character of Aphyr's "Xing the technical interview" sequence of blog posts [1]. Would definitely deserve its own entry in the series.

This is neography meets conlang. Love it. I would really love to see a unique programming language that uses a constructed language with a beautiful script. I had the idea of making one but I never got around to it.

Holy shit this is awesome. Absolutely beautiful.

I call upon thе blood-moon goddess, for I have but one request. I've laid the altar, charged the crystals, the circle, I have blessed. PLEASE boot this time.

Couldn't think of any applications of this outside of doing actual magic. But this is awesome still!

This has uses right? A prettier form of QR code? Would be a tad difficult to decode automatically but I definitely like the combination of aesthetics with logic.

For game purposes I've been looking up alchemical and mystical symbols, and I've been frustrated that, while there's a lot of references of symbols, alphabets, etc. themselves, there's little or no presentation of a grammar that would direct one in creating larger diagrams that look like this. This is amazing. It's deeply pleasing that code, represented systematically, would be so aesthetically pleasing.
