Ah, a TodePond-inspired language! That's always a fun (and deep) rabbit hole.

I clicked through to the GitHub (nice README art). What's the core "conceptual design" here?

Is the concept based on fluid dynamics? Or is it more of a "sink" where all data eventually, inevitably... disappears?

Love the spirit of this!

a light-hearted satirical take on programming :)

and TodePond can surely explain the concept better than myself

I took the idea and just ran with it - my implementation adds many features and skips some of the original

and, made an attempt at adding a language creation tool set

suppose the data ends up in a recursive spiral somewhere in the omniverse!
