This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it's a programming language.

Already have a Minecraft mod like that based off an anime with that premise. You program magic spells into a gun.

Someone was posting a week or two ago having done something kinda like that. Something to do with magic circles or similar, looked rad.

I think Ra has a magic casting system that is a programming language.
