Abstract Programming... no, really abstract

Many moons ago, about 74 moons, I wrote an article about Taking Language Design Lessons From Traffic Lights and briefly mused that wouldn't it be great to have a language that incorporated color. At the time someone pointed out colorForth which is pretty neat.

Just today Kelli sends me a link to Piet, a language in which programs look like abstract paintings. Whoa. The examples really are something other than else.

Whoa.

I want to write an interpreter for it now. Maybe this is my excuse to finally learn Parrot.
