You might be interested in concatenative programming, effectively a modern functional take on Forth-like languages. Factor is a mature, dynamically typed concatenative language, with an excellent interactive environment reminiscent of Smalltalk. I have also been working on a statically typed concatenative language for a while now.
- arethuza 11y agoI found the Joy language to be pretty interesting - it's described as "Forth's functional cousin": http://www.kevinalbrecht.com/code/joy-mirror/forth-joy.html http://www.kevinalbrecht.com/code/joy-mirror/forth-joy.html
- mikekchar 11y agoThank you very much! (and to the parent as well!). FORTH programming was my first paying gig. I will look at this with much joy :-)
