I found myself giggling manically at this one.

IDK not a fan of interpreted languages. 😄 Also, looks kinda fragile.

At last a concrete language you can program with your hands. The only drawback I see is you can't copy/paste code from StackOverflow, which my favorite programming pattern. 😄
And where the link to the compiler/interpreter? This language is so simple that I am sure it is not that complicated to build one! A bit of computer vision as a parser and then you go!

This could be executable at Dynamicland!

@Dan Stocker Do you mean like the programming equivalent of "interpretive" dance? :)

@ogadaki isn't copy and paste taking a photo? The code isn't as intuitively editable at that point. There might be a market for a robot that can automate this.

Yes, cool idea! The easy part: copy by taking a photo. The challenging part: paste by asking a robot to place objects. I guess it is reeaaaly challenging, as I am not sure even a human can assemble all this fumble-prone mountain without spreading sauce all around.

Reimplement this idea using special lego blocks. The lego blocks contain electronic circuitry, so they actually implement the logic. To support copy/paste, implement reflection: There is a block that operates like the "quote" operator in Lisp: It constructs a value describing the construction that the Quote block is plugged in to. Then attach an Email block to the Quote block and email the program to yourself.

@Doug Moen, you should add this as an entry to esolangs wiki. :-)

internally, the parameters are named fork and spoon; externally, the first parameter is markerless and the second parameter is identified by a clothes peg.
this is beautiful
