Neat game. I was bored so I wrote a little brute-force solver in my toy language. Takes almost a minute to solve today's puzzle though: http://paste.pr0.tips/hgs

Your language feels Haskellish, with some Rust-like syntax and mutation thrown in. Were those languages inspiration?
They were :) Before I took the time to write a vim syntax file I just used the Rust one with a couple of tweaks and the syntax was close enough that it sort of worked.
Looks pretty sweet! I'd consider using something like that for scripting if it had a non-toy implementation.
Love this. Where can I learn more about your toy language?
