I read that recently, and then found out about "function level" languages, which are sort of the modern extension of stack-based languages. Function level != functional. Check out Factor, for a prominent example.. the combinator library is beautiful.

I thought function level were limited to backus languages, and that factor was part of stack based, at best concatenative.

I'm really impressed with Factor. This is the first time I've heard about it. Thank you for mentioning it.
