Visualizing the turing tarpit
Jason Hemann, Eric Holk · 2013
Minimal programming languages like Jot generate limited interest outside of the community of languages enthusiasts. This is unfortunate, because the simplicity of these languages endows them with an inherent beauty and provides deep insight into the nature of computation. We present a way of visualizing the behavior of many Jot programs at once, providing interesting images and also hinting at somewhat non-obvious relationships between programs.
