    > The idea is a possible realization of LANGUAGE 18 from "FORTY-FOUR ESOLANGS":

        a sculptural language
    
        it subtracts from potential algorithms,
        making them more specific
    
        a program only states what it doesn't do
    
    This made me want to read the other forty-three proposals for esolangs! Some of them are here [0], buy the book for more.

    I'm a bit unclear about how much the book specifies Language 18 (is it really just the three-line prose poem above? Other languages seem to have more detail) and how much came from the author of this post.
