GolfScript has interesting similarities with Rebol: if a variable points to a function it is executed directly. In Rebol that can be suppressed with :token, in GolfScript one has to wrap a token, like so: {token}.
Function arguments in GolfScript are directly taken from the stack while Rebol uses some “heuristics” based on number of arguments of a function and has special behavior for operators.
All the cool kids use MetaGolfScripts now.
i am not a programmer, but god damn if these esoteric programming languages aren’t the most interesting things ever.

Reminds me of when I see APL. Seems like some fun stuff
