#12Author of this silly project here! Sharing a bit of backstory on why I decided to work on this; Firstly, “for fun” but primarily because I felt like I started losing the childlike wonder/whimsy I once had with programming. So I started this new hobby where I ask myself “can I hack on this?” upon getting/seeing something. For instance, I got this new Aula F75 keyboard (really good keyboard for the price btw, it sounds…
Fun project! I had a similar project a while back, but my medium of choice was the Uno card game. I called it UnoScript [1] and it had similar mechanisms as color was an important factor. I also ended with a stack as the main part of the language, where different colors/combinations of cards could read from/modify the stack. Interesting how similar constraints can lead to some similar design choices!

Does this work with real candy?
Yes! Just make sure to take a photo on a plain white surface is all.
With:
uv run mnm decompile path/to/photo.png --mode photoRe: I made a programming language with M&Ms
#14it actually sounds like a fun idea, but i have one question. do you think a lightweight CNN trained on synthetic candy layouts would outperform the deterministic decoder for messy real world photos?

Psychopath implies lack of empathy so I don't think that's quite the word you want. You could maybe repurpose "psychotic" though!

“ As it turned out, there is nothing special about psychopaths when it comes to understanding or feeling empathy with others. ”

But maybe it is like so often more about the contradictory definitions of “empathy”, and capability vs. willingness.

#18What color is your function?
That's one language that doesn't need an external IDE for syntax highlighting.

Great post, thanks for sharing it!
When I saw the title, I thought of Lambda Calculus[0] and SKI combinators[1]. Given that there are "only six useful colors", I wonder if M&Ms could be used to implement them.
