Piet is a milestone experiment among the esoteric programming languages, but I believe that it falls short of achieving its goal to make programs look like Mondrian paintings unless the developer really intends to do so.
I wish the language structure were designed in a way that anything that’s “written” with it would look like a Mondrian painting.
- jack_riminton 3y agoYes well unfortunately Mondrian only really used the primary colours so that would be rather limiting
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agojust have to make them really big
- euroderf 3y agoBut FWIW Mondrian also showed how to convert a more conventional style into his signature style. This can be seen in Still Life with Gingerpot, numbers 1 and 2.
- btbuildem 3y agoCould encode more operators into shape ratios / proportions, line thickness etc.
- shever73 3y agoIt could be done. The FizzBuzzLang esolang uses only the words FIZZ, BUZZ and FIZZBUZZ.
