Programs are constructed by arranging colored candies (or their ASCII representations) in a grid, where color and count encode opcodes, integer literals, control flow, variables, and math operations. The language was inspired by a packet of GEMS candies that spilled into an arrow shape. A web-based playground and GitHub repo are available, though the language currently requires a companion JSON file for string and variable data. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
