Am I missing something or is Recto still inherently linear? Flow control still goes one direction through the rectangles, where as the other 2D languages he points out, Befunge, Fish, and Piet, flow control can change directions. In later versions of Befunge it isn't even limited to 2D or moving in cardinal directions.

    Yeah I don't really get it either. Even the last picture in the original article, showing a bunch of for loops, is practically one-dimensional. So I don't get the prime benefit of the idea, to be honest.
