I am watching SICP lectures, and one of them describes implementing something very similar in lisp.

The SICP picture language is based on the same paper by Peter Henderson. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-15.html...

nbviewer seems to be down.

you can access it here: http://shashi.github.io/ijulia-notebooks/funcgeo/

If anyone is trying to run the code, you are gonna need my fixes to compose https://github.com/shashi/Compose.jl/tree/rotation_fix Will get it merged upstream and tag a new version soon.

Ok, we changed the URL to that from http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/shashi/ijulia-notebooks/b....

In a similar vein, on of my professors is describing stringed instruments in scheme (based on the picture language) http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~mairson/Papers/ICFP062-mairson.p...

Very cool!
