Comment on Ask HN: What's an interesting, esoteric programming field?

Comments

1) Gnu Radio allows you to build signal flow graphs, which are then executed in real time with your hardware. You can even do audio I/O to get an intuition for DSP that just doesn't happen by studying the math.

2) BitGrid is an esoteric computing fabric I've come up with, and wrote an emulator for.[3] It's a grid of 4 bit in and out look up tables, clocked in two phases like the colors of a chessboard.
