The implications of “magic is data” are fun. It leads to stories like Unsong where you can brute-force enumerate incantations until you find a good one. I also like the concept of Wizard’s Bane. I haven’t read it, but my understanding is that magic turns out to be Turing-complete, and the protagonist creates a LISP evaluator in magic, which enables them to outcast their enemies who are still doing the magical equivalent of writing assembly.
The wizard on the wall (disguised as a skeleton) uses NixOS and also happens to declare their incantations in the Nix language.

I didn’t have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn’t funny to me. Guess you had to be there.
How does that stop a brute force attack? As written, it only stops the single luckiest brute force attack that happens to get the password right on their first try.
A honeypot!
Don’t you go giving me ideas for a new esoteric programming language.
