Don't know if anyone else said it yet (haven't read all answers), and not to
dampen your enthusiasm, but just to be of some help:

I think you are actually simply reinventing L-Systems. What you said could
be expressed in an L-System grammar:

x = AM[Sx]

where:

A = "turn to a certain angle"
M = "move forward a certain length"
S = "scale by a certain amount"
[ and ] = recursive "push" and "pop"

So long,
JOhannes.
