http://esolangs.org/wiki/Befunge would probably be better for that. One might conclude these folks are clearly from the Homo Ludens camp, given the apparent uselessness of the activity. Nonetheless, a programming model that takes into account location of information in space may become relevant as memory systems get deeper and more complex. “Move the compute to the data” takes on a more direct meaning with Befunge. Looking to biology for inspiration, cells have spatial extent too. I seem to remember not so long ago folks in this community were actually excited by cellular automata.. Ya know, complexity and all that.. Marcus
