A Minsky machine built entirely in ncurses terminfo
Original: A Minsky machine in ncurses terminfo
A developer has published a project implementing a Minsky register machine using only ncurses terminfo terminal capability definitions, demonstrating that the obscure format for describing terminal behaviour is powerful enough to express computation. The work, described on seriot.ch, is drawing attention for its inventiveness and as a playful example of turning an unexpected file format into a programming environment.
Why now: The technical community enjoys surprising demonstrations that obscure formats can be Turing-complete.
