If you really push bulk collection / vector oriented programming, you end up with something like J, K, or Joy. There's a ton of resources at no stinking loops (

If you really push bulk collection / vector oriented programming, you end up with something like J, K, or Joy. There's a ton of resources at no stinking loops (http://www.nsl.com/ http://www.nsl.com/), if you're interested. (It's too bad J and K are closed source.) FWIW, Joy (http://www.latrobe.edu.au/philosophy/phimvt/joy.html http://www.latrobe.edu.au/philosophy/phimvt/joy.html) is quite simple, like Forth. I wrote an interpreter in Prolog in about an hour last weekend.
