> the idea you could possibly write a lot of it Presumably it’s one of those things where if you find yourself writing a lot of code, you really ought to question what you’re doing? > Your code ends up super dense, with non-trivial stuff easily fitting on just a few screens, so you can keep track of what's going on. I have found it really difficult to convince people that the latter follows from the former—that denser notations actually make code easier to grasp, as long as you know the notation. The farthest I’ve gotten is: “Look, in a language that rhymes with Slava, you often have to write an enormous amount of code in order to accomplish anything and keep it maintainable, right? Well, there are languages even better about that than the ones you use.” You may be interested in concatenative programming, a cousin of tacit programming. Factor (http://factorcode.org/ http://factorcode.org/) is a good dynamic language with a great environment and helpful (though quiet) community in #concatenative on Freenode. I am working—alas, very slowly—on a statically typed concatenative language and hope that it will one day help take these ideas to the mainstream. :)
