Just wanted to say that I think your rendition of Zellige is really nice, thank you for sharing! This is a very cool drawing language, and I think your art here is a really solid example of how creative you can be even with very limited tools.

I made a pinwheel, which is maybe not that exciting, but was a lot of fun for me. I like the bracket syntax a lot, and figuring out how to make this work actually recaptures some of the old sense of exploration and fun that I felt before programming was my day job.

Thanks, please consider sharing your pinwheel, I'm sure it was awesome to make too!

You're touching on an important point. I tried to figure out CFR[] by trial and error and it was a lot of fun, the kind of which I didn't feel for a long time. I think this boils down to two things: - Bounded complexity, which encourages you to explore it to its fullest - Immediate feedback, the result is not disconnected from the act of editing the code, so your iteration cycle is super short.

Congrats OP, amazing design work!
