A comment on Cistercian Numerals. Parent comment
* Each stroke were 1 bit, so the numerals would be just a more "compact" representation for binary numbers.
* Even better if they can be represented with a seven-segment display (or other similar displays).
(Though I can't blame them, since these two things didn't even exist back then.)
