This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it's a programming language.
"Ahhh shit, they opened the XOR gate! Quick, someone check the blood sacrifice box and find out if the cat is dead or alive!"
Already have a Minecraft mod like that based off an anime with that premise. You program magic spells into a gun.

Someone was posting a week or two ago having done something kinda like that. Something to do with magic circles or similar, looked rad.
Give them Noita programmable spells and wait for them to TPK
I think Ra has a magic casting system that is a programming language.
