#2> Technically the language is Turing complete at this point, but will be excruciatingly laborious to use, violating my design rule #2.
I stopped at step #1 with my Lambda Diagrams [1]. The bottom of that page links to all other graphical lambda calculus notations I know of (just added this one).

#3It's all way over my head, but this is amazing work! The 2 obfustication techniques are pretty insane.
Had some issues trying to upload my own png's, maybe too big(?)

#4That looks like a fun project to build!

#5Why did it have to be pixelated in appearance? It would be far more attractive as anti-aliased vector lines and type.
The red highlighting reminds me of electricity in the classic circuit problem game _Rocky's Boots_ on the Apple ][.
As I've posted in similar discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42051536
The problem here, as always is that there isn't an agreed-upon answer for the question:
>What does an algorithm look like?
The problem is expressiveness of such a diagram is bounded by the size of a screen or a sheet of paper, and once one starts to scroll, or can't see the entire flow at a glance, things get complicated.
The node/wire programming folks have this a bit rougher to the point that there are sites such as:
https://blueprintsfromhell.tumblr.com/
https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/
I prefer to work visually, but not sure if that's actually valid --- unfortunately https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/ doesn't support all of OpenSCAD and https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor has problems with a stylus (I have to leave the Windows Settings app open to toggle stylus behaviour which is enough friction that I don't use it as much as I would otherwise).
There are promising tools though: https://nodezator.com/ and https://ryven.org/ are very cool.

#6Sure a fun project, but that neither looks good, nor is it easy to understand. Reminds me of Frege's notation on steroids.

of interest to this site, the Y combinator as a Lambda Diagram: https://tromp.github.io/img/cl/Y.logo.gif

#8This reminds me of Lukasa memory boards, analogous to written language as this is to traditional programming (or as a table is to a chart). It's amazing how the way information is encoded and presented can affect its interpretation.

#9Nice ideas. I like the notebook where can I get it ?
Re: Λ-2D: An Exploration of Drawing as Programming Language
#10Some other very visual programming environments/languages that I have found. They are different from other visual programming where you connect nodes with lines. These can be categorised differently but I don't what that will be.
