Interesting. I'm hopeless at this sort of theorising, so bear with me.
I like visualisations of processes, I think the process is the thing of
value, as you can write a bubble sort in any language under the sun -
it's the process of it being carried out that's cool, surely?
Ok, am I wrong? Is a bubble sort more interesting/have more value
written as perl, or ZX80 asm, or whitespace? Is your descision based
more on the characters used to describe the same algorithm? If this is
the case, then why bother running it? :/
