I take it that all are aware of the excellent site omniglot?

# I fucking love omniglot
I'd post my writing system there but I can hardly claim to have invented it - it's just an adaptation/progression of an existing system [Braille adapted for handwriting]

# Ah, no, I don't think they feature kitchen table alphabets :)
There should be a site for made-up alphabets, though. That would be excellent.

# That one's just crazy
How are you meant to read anything with that? It's like an ant got drunk and fell in an ink pot.

It also reminds me of really stupid programming languages. I like Cow, which is a palate swap of Brainfuck, where code looks like

Moo mooo moooo? Mooo mooo moo!

and so on.

# I had an idea for a hexagonal writing system,
where the layout would indicate grammatical structure rather than spoken order.

# There's a similar language called Oook.
I agree that many of those constructed scripts are useless as they are too hard to read, but I think the minimal stacking alphabet is quite good.

# I like the Chef language, too
You replace variables with ingredients, and initialise them with the quantity you need, and then add them to the cooking bowl and pull them out again.

I think Ook and Cow are both just Brainfuck with different symbols. I also like Fuckfuck which exists in a few variants where you replace the characters with swear words. :)

Anyway.

"Graph Script was created by Nicholas Harvey, a visitor to omniglot.com. He created it because he wanted his own script to express the creative person that he is. To him, creating scripts is an art form. He strives to be different from everyone else, so he made a script that is read from bottom to top and from right to left, and written in the form of a grid. It is unique in that it can be written on graphing paper."

He sounds like... a total wanker... On the other hand, I may start inventing writing systems. It'd be a way of expressing the creative person that I am -- almost like an art form.

# hahaha
i like that one.

it does remind me of lolcode too. not that that's a bad thing - i'm just waiting till there's good enough lolcode to c (or to fortran) convertors and then i'll start programming in lolcode exclusively.

# Hahh. What a tool.
Yeah, I looked at Chef. It's quite a neat idea, but probably not very practical :)

(and as for ^ python, yes it is great. I read the discussions on perl6's language evolution and cringe at the increasingly arcane decisions they are making, like metaoperators and junk and that).
(I helped save b3ta! The Alchemist king of the needlessly complicated, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 23:26, archived)
# I think Chef is probably deeply impractical
I like the Hello World! program the guy who invented it wrote. In the comments he says "This program prints 'Hello, World!' on the screen. It also makes an awful lot of food for one person."

One of these days I will port a CMB Boltzmann integrator to Chef. Or to Shakespeare.

# Dubsar Gibil is for "Modern Sumerian"
which is basically Ancient Sumerian with some canonical decisions made about how it should actually be pronounced.

The other one I did today I just made up for no reason in particular.

# It's loosely based on Old Persian Cuneiform,
and would be written in a clay tablet (should one desire to do so) with a flathead screwdriver.

I've also used it for writing Katababeli, which is my pet constructed language.

# I like to think there's still some
in a deep, remote valley somewhere in the mountains on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. Though that seems a bit far East so perhaps some mountains a bit nearer here.

I once saw a program that decided that Eden was in one of those mountains and that the story in the Bible was a garbled version of a folk myth dimly remembering a patriarch who was expelled from the valley. They didn't say what he was expelled for so, inspired by the Holy Bibble, I'm going to go for shagging goats. www.holybibble.net/latest.php?id=11
