    How to read this

    Uiua has a very helpful (still experimental) astar function built in which returns all valid paths that match your criteria, making a lot of path-finding stuff almost painfully simple, as you just need to provide a starting node and three functions: return next nodes, return heuristic cost to destination (here set to constant 1), return confirmation if we’ve reached a suitable target node (here testing if it’s = 9).
