Author here. I imagine that anyone with an even passing familiarity with the legendary “To Mock a Mockingbird” will recognize the inspiration for the title of this essay.
I second the recommendation to look into Joy. I wrote about combinators and concatenative languages a while ago, in “Finding Joy in Combinators:”

Factor is another concatenative language worth a look.
- carapace 8y agoOh hey! You're all over it. Excellent.
- braythwayt 8y agoWell, I’d say that I’m a typical hobbyist. I find something, plsy with it, share my enthusiasm, and so on, but I rarely go really deep. So comments like yours are excellent because: 1. They mention things that I might know, but didn’t mention in this post, which points other readers in new directions, and; 2. They go deeper than I’ve gone, so even if I know the general thing, I still learn something. So... thank you.
