Coming up with a paper notation for kids so they can think about programming without filling up short term memory with irrelevancies like the order to put numbers in. (As is often the case these days, I'm sketching this on akkartik.itch.io/carousel while lying in bed with my phone.)

A screenshot of Lua Carousel showing a mock-up of a new notation, how I imagine it is equivalent to textual function calls, and the result of running the textual calls on a computer.

To draw a rectangle I need to specify the x and coordinate of the top-left corner, and the width and the height of the rectangle. So the idea is to make those numbers labels on a picture of a rectangle.

Crucially, the picture is not to scale. Multiple rectangles aren't going to be positioned relatively, we're just going to put them one below another like a sequence of instructions. We're going to be drawing these pictures with pencil, and we don't want to get too hung up on realism. It's still just a notation.

“Had +1, -1 and √-1, instead of being called positive, negative and imaginary (or worse still, impossible) unity, been given the names of direct, inverse and lateral unity, there would hardly have been any scope for such obscurity.” #Gauss
