I love Forth and and have implemented it (well, not compliant) twice (Z-80 and C) back in the day for fun.
Postscript should get a mention, as its a related surviving stack language (though higher level - but in the spirit of the article, for a very domain-specific purpose), even if printer drivers do all the coding.
Though they changed most of the word names to protect the innocent: http://hyperpolyglot.org/stack http://hyperpolyglot.org/stack
(And lest we forget display Postscript a la Sun NeWS - boy that was fun stuff! - still the coolest way to write your own desktop widgets)
- smartmic 7y agoIn addition to Postscript, I would also mention Factor (https://factorcode.org/ https://factorcode.org/). It is quite approachable to learn stack based programming.
- arethuza 7y agoSpeaking of NeWS fun - I remember playing tricks on a colleague by logging into their display server using psh and manually tweaking the transformation matrix for a terminal window so that it very gradually rotated as he was using it. Of course, as it was NeWS (actually HyperNeWS) everything just worked until the rotation became really obvious.
