I've always been interested in the connection between linear logic and reversibility, but lacked a language malleable enough that reversibility could emerge naturally from its resource model rather than enforced as a separate concern.
Most programming languages are designed as if thermodynamics don't apply, and when it is considered, reversibility is either bolted on as a constraint or the language's entire point. In a linear resource model, every transformation must account for what it consumes, information cannot be silently acquired or discarded. Reversible computing might be a way toward zero energy dissipation, and this is how I choose to explore it!

it's very stiff, and nothing sticks to it, we're used to using tape for aligning things, it doesn't work at all for this so we have to use clips and pins but it gets all tangled up. It's a pretty tough material to work with for rounded shapes and corners.

I've received a pretty interesting email this morning that made rethink the connection with linear logic. The way I had it phrased made it seem like resources cannot be duplicated, right after I had JUST demonstrated how to duplicate resources..
It's a bit more subtle than that.
Traditional logic treats propositions as infinite, whereas linear logic accounts for resources. Rejoice is an attempt at making a linear logic playground in which every transformation equates to a transaction that consumes rules.
In Rejoice, the linear logic ! modality applies to rules, not to values. A one-shot fraction can freely duplicate or discard symbols(x^2/x), but the fraction itself is consumed after firing. Anonymous functions and the @label mechanism are what promote rules to unlimited use. This is illustrated with file handles: once file is consumed, any fraction requiring it in its denominator simply won't fire, the resource is inaccessible through absence rather than enforcement. A fraction requiring a consumed symbol doesn't crash, it just becomes dead code.
