Developer launches interactive playground for interaction nets

Original: Show HN: I built an interactive visual playground for interaction nets

A developer has released Netties, an interactive visual playground for interaction nets, a formalism used in graph rewriting and optimal reduction in computing. The browser-based tool lets users experiment with nets visually, making an otherwise abstract theoretical model easier to explore. The release is drawing attention from programmers interested in lambda calculus, compiler design and visual programming tools.

Why now: It is a fresh hands-on tool for a niche but intellectually interesting area of computer science, appealing to the Hacker News technical audience.
