       | You can't read what code is in a cell, you can only read and
       | write data. So you can't do self-modifying code, beyond blindly
       | copying an existing code cell somewhere else.

       | 
       | However, I do find the UI quite unintuitive at certain points.
       | Especially when I wrote a program, I couldn't figure out how to
