It seems there's a lot of conceptual overlap here, even though they don't offer much in terms of control flow or Turing completeness. I just think they generally still remain somewhat under exposed/explored (beyond the traditional Turtle graphics applications). If you attach different kinds of interpreters, they can be pushed pretty far... In the past I have used them for genetic programming, text & code generation, music composition, and even basic stack machines (where the L-System acts as an iterative macro expansion stage)...</p><p>A couple of FizzBuzz examples (incl. a super basic Forth-like VM) using <a href="https://thi.ng/lsys" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">thi.ng/lsys</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>...</p><p><a href="https://gist.github.com/postspectacular/7d0ae7d90e0eafb69e60fb97e2838221" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gist.github.com/postspectacula</span><span class="invisible">r/7d0ae7d90e0eafb69e60fb97e2838221</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/LSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LSystem</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Generative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Generative</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RuleBased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RuleBased</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RewritingSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RewritingSystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Forth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Forth</span></a></p>
