    re: highly constrained language

    The 'constraints' of language, particularly written language, are always
    exceeded by the imagination of its users. I've always wondered what the poet
    bp nichol would have made of the textual capabilities and constraints of
    computers. See, for example, The bp nichol Project site,
    http://www.chbooks.com/projects/bp/index.html
