⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Memo enforces extreme forgetfulness, retaining only the last 12 lines to mimic stream-of-consciousness coding.
  • Its natural-language syntax and functional core challenge traditional programming state management.
  • As an esolang, it critiques modern bloat and hints at future constraint-based designs in edge computing.
