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!
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!
