Fascinating. I love constrained writing and constrained poetry. No If-statements in code reminds me a bit of the E-Prime movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime) which was about removing the verb 'to be' and all its variants like 'is', 'was' etc from English language. Supposedly it made English easier to understand and encouraged clarity and precision.
