This reminds me of befunge[1], which is also a two dimensional programming language, and has been around for quite a while. This language looks a bit simpler and easier to understand, though. Neat.

"[I]n Befunge, there is no comment syntax: to embed documentation in the code, the programmer simply routes the control flow around the 'comment' area, so that the text in that area is never executed"
- SmallDeadGuy 9y agoI'd argue that Befunge is far simpler. It's yet-another-esoteric-programming-language but the program pointer can move in 4 directions instead of 2. Every instruction is simple stack/heap manipulation or IO. AsciiDots looks a lot more complicated, multiple program pointers which are also the variables in the program with no concept of stack or heap. Not to mention library support, too.
