Folders: an esolang written in directory structures (permalink)

made by rottytooth, submitted by Mai
Folders is a programming language that doesn't use any text; programs are encoded into a directory structure. All files within are ignored, as are the names of the folders. Commands and expressions are encoded by the pattern of folders within folders. Gave me a new perspective from which to think about form and content! — Mai
