Why "grammars"?

A grammar is a symbolic system — a deck, a book, an oracle, a story collection. We named them grammars because they work like languages: finite symbols, combinatorial meaning, always requiring a reader.

Recursive.eco is where people make grammars together. Free. No ads. No algorithm.
