APL, forth and prolog are routinely rediscovered over and over again. They are like a cat standing in the path of a door : refusing the mainstream and refusing obscurity.
Maybe lisp was in that club too but clojure made it mainstream again, by my horribly inaccurate, unscientific and probably wrong reckoning.
- vanderZwan 5y agoClojure is in a kind of "niche mainstream" position. The others are "just" niche, I guess
- rbanffy 5y agoI love how Forth taught me to build the language up instead if the program down.
- de_Selby 5y agoThat's something I like about array languages too, and Lisp is similar from what I know of it. Essentially defining a DSL for the problem and then working with it.
