Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 3, Utility: 2)

This project is a Piet interpreter (for the esoteric Piet programming language) compiled into a Piet image itself, which runs a Piet program—a meta-circular self-interpreter. It's a fascinating demonstration of computational self-reference and esolang engineering, executed in the browser via a WebAssembly interpreter for the Blimp language.

Target audience: esolang enthusiasts, programming language hobbyists, computer science educators
