Wow. The Greeks did well to invent runes that hold six numbers in a tiny square box. I can't imagine the precision hammers and chisels they would need for that.

to nitpick, I believe those used in Linear A are not technically "runes", i.e. the runes are only the ones used in writing systems for german languages, and derived from old italic alphabets.

If this is how things are going to go, I guess I should break out the APL keyboard and get going.

Until someone makes a to javascript transpiler for it, I'm just not interested. :)

This seems like the next logical step, really.

This one needs an appropriate virtual keyboard. Or better physical too. With stone keys.

I really like the equality symbol! I guess it's nice when the symbols have symbolism.

How does it compare to emojicode?

I hate to sound alarmist, but I'm seriously worried that we're reaching "peak novelty programming language". If we don't start exploring alternative uses of free time now, we're going to be in serious trouble soon.
