A compiled, number crunching dialect of Forth with a very good vocabulary (and the accompanying semantics) for n-dimensions matrix calculations sounds pretty neat. I’m surprised no one jumped in with a an APL reference, however there are some significant differences between an array processing language and a concatenative language with Fortran semantics.
