Description

SMETANA is a pathological little self-modifying language with only two possible operations: Go to step n, and Swap steps n and m. It has inspired a few variants and developments, notably a proof that despite this minimalism, it is finite-automata-complete; it is also the (great-?)grandfather of SMITH.

Interact
