Uiua

Uiua is one of the most fun languages for creative coding. There are a bunch of really good primitives that generating audio files from samples, generating an image from an array of pixels, generating a gif from an array of array of pixels, etc. Messed around with it here some time ago and I've started to miss it. The only other APL-ish language I've tried is BQN which is also an amazing language but thinking tacit is hard and it takes time to get used to. There are smart people in the world. Being a member and representative of the other side of that spectrum, I need my escape hatches and they need to be pleasant. I've come to appreciate the stack-based escape hatches a lot more than the functional escape hatches with blocks using 𝕩 and the other spicy letters.
