Universidad Camilo José Cela (@UniversidadCamiloJoseCela)

An esoteric, Turing-complete programming language whose runtime is a fly brain: FlyWire v783, 138,639 neurons and 2,700,513 connections of five synapses or more. There is no RAM and no clock. Each program state is assigned to a real identified neuron (an antennal-lobe projection neuron for a named glomerulus, Kenyon cells, MBONs, PAM and PPL1 dopamine cells, DNa02, the proboscis motor neuron MN9), each variable is the strength of a Kenyon-cell-to-MBON synapse, and the program ends when the giant fibre DNp01 fires. Anatomy sets the limits: 16 variables, because there are only 16 PPL1 neurons.
