Reminds me of the 1987 “Wireworld”, of course Wikipedia has an article [1]. I’ve seen 8-bit counters implemented in wireworld, which is quite something, though this looks a bit more … succinct. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireworld
I find Zach(tronics)'s take on this in KOHCTPYKTOP much more pleasing somehow. Of course, it's difficult to play now, since the webpage [1], and steam version relied on flash, and you have to fiddle with a 3rd party flash reimplementation. But its implementation of semiconductor behaviour is much better than wireworld's. [1] https://www.zachtronics.com/kohctpyktop-engineer-of-the-peop...
Now if only I could get my head around it (shout out to the alligator eggs ref too)

I think you missed "Alligator Eggs"! https://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/
image-rendering: crisp-edges;
This will make the pixel art style rendering look much nicer, without the slight smoothing that makes the pixel edges a little blurry.

Which means you can now claim that your language made a browser say "It's all Greek to me!", which is a pretty cool achievement I think.
Examples are game engines (Unreal and Unity), 3D art/effect tools (Houdini), Simulink etc.
