HN comment orderDo yourself a favor, and watch Toby Schachman (the author) explaining his ITP thesis. This is just one expression of a larger vision for alternative programming which he describes very succinctly. These two videos include him and the slides: http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... More angles and other great videos available at http://itp.nyu.edu/shows/thesis2012/archives/
If you are onto something like this, you should also try Context Free [1] which allows for the wide variety of recursive arts in a programmatic manner (well, it literally has its own versatile scripting language). [1] https://www.contextfreeart.org/
