'''beeswax''' is a stack-based 2 dimensional esoteric programming language developed by [[user:Albedo]] (Manuel Lohmann). Beeswax draws inspiration from bees moving around on a honeycomb, and is partly inspired by languages like [http://esolangs.org/wiki/Cardinal Cardinal] etc.
|
|
The instruction pointers (bees) move around on a 2D hexagonal grid (the honeycomb). beeswax programs can manipulate their own source code, change the program size, and can read and write files.
|
|
beeswax programs are stored in a rectangular grid with a 6-neigborhood. β depicts a bee/instruction pointer.

Bees can perform all kinds of arithmetic operations, jumps, code modifications etc. Each bee carries a fixed-size stack of length 3 and can store or retrieve data by interacting either with the global stack (of arbitrary size) or the honeycomb/source code itself.
|
|
|
|
Data on the global stack can be written to files on disk, and global stack contents can be written to files on disk.
|
|
|
|
All data in the local and global stacks are unsigned 64-bit integers, output as characters uses UTF8 encoding.
