Wow, superators is a pretty crazy Ruby hack.

rocket <=- fuel

Now I can picture ASCII art becoming executable. Imagine a day when this:

         (__)
         (oo)
  /-------\/
 / |     ||
*  ||----||
   ^^    ^^

can execute and it builds a vector image of itself.

Or, when you use the text layout:

[ header ]
[ col1(10%) | main | col2(15%)]
[ footer ]

and that builds your CSS layout for HTML. ;)
