Piet is a programming language in which programs look like abstract paintings. The language is named after Piet Mondrian, who pioneered the field of geometric abstract art. I would have liked to call the language Mondrian, but someone beat me to it with a rather mundane-looking scripting language.

I wrote the Piet specification a long time ago, and the language has taken on a bit of a life of its own, with a small community of coders writing Piet programs, interpreters, IDEs, and even compilers. I have not written any "authoritative" interpreter, and the different ones available sometimes interpret the specification slightly differently.

Piet uses a stack for storage of all data values. Data values exist only as integers, though they may be read in or printed as Unicode character values with appropriate commands. The stack is notionally infinitely deep, but implementations may elect to provide a finite maximum stack size. If a finite stack overflows, it should be treated as a runtime error, and handling this will be implementation dependent.

FREETONE by Stuart Semple contains 1280 colours including digital versions of his Pinkest Pink, Incredibly Kelinish Blue, Black 3.0 and TIFF.

A SIMPLE & TOTALLY FREE COLOUR PALETTE PLUGIN FOR ADOBE

That unlocks a whole books worth of very Pantone-ish colours.

1280 Liberated colours are extremely Pantoneish and reminiscent of those found in the most iconic colour book of all time. In fact it's been argued that they are indistinguishable from those behind the Adobe paywall.

Cost: Nothing. Click through the cart and you don't have to pay (unless you want to leave a tip).

A directory of things to make your system look awesome.
