Hello World

Print Numbers from 1 to 10

Some Thoughts

  • One goal of this language was to make the gestures/movements/symbols for complex actions such as "loop" and "print" intuitive for the human reader/viewer to grasp.
  • Using flag semaphore for alphanumeric characters did not feel very intuitive. In particular, the re-use of the same movements/symbols for letters and numbers keeps the character space small, but increases the length and visual confusion of messages/programs that involve both.
  • A compiler/interpreter for this language could have right-handed and left-handed modes.
  • Inspired by bodyfuck.
