DESCRIPTION:[Rivulet](https://github.com/rottytooth/Rivulet) eschews keywor
 ds entirely. This is not done to move *away* from natural language (as in 
 APL's use of mathematical symbols) but instead to draw from an aspect of n
 atural language usually ignored in prog language design: calligraphic writ
 ing. Rivulet code is written in flowing lines inspired by handwritten natu
 ral and constructed languages. Its logic is alien to most programming lang
 uages but makes perfect sense in support of its visual representation of t
 ightly-packed tangles of lines.\n\nIn this short talk\, I'll introduce thi
 s new language alongside other esolangs that draw from less-considered asp
 ects of natlangs and conlangs\, embracing their ambiguity and expressive p
 ower.
