Hi, I'm the one that wrote this blog post! A lot of comments treat this project as a joke or some form of satire, but we've spent 3 months writing this after initially coming up with the idea because we thought nobody had created such a general programming language before. It's good to get some feedback and maybe we've been in our own heads for a little too long, but it's good that someone gets it.

How is this more general than a language like Binary Lambda Calculus, which can bootstrap into any other language, like Brainfuck in 112 bytes of bootstrap, or even into Cognition itself?

I read it as probably containing something deep that I should save for when I have time to go through the details. Maybe we syntaxlings need time to get comfortable.

Yeah it seemed clear to me it was a research project/demonstration of possibilities. Very cool.
