Not really to explore, the intention is nothing but to be esoteric. Suggesting things to make this lang easier to use (i.e. less esoteric) is akin to suggesting adding names to brainfuck commands to make it more readable.

Timwi does have some other useful projects though (take a look at his github), all of which are basically centered around parsing. (an IL debugger, a C# parser, generic regular expressions...)

You're right, I didn't get that this is was intended as esoteric. Actually the parser for the language, if it works right from the Ascii art and not an intermediate representation, must be awesome. This also explains why the visual syntax is much better suited for a computer than human readers though. :-)
