      Intriguing: Function-level Array Programming vs Function-level Stack Programming.

      APL, J, et al are examples of the former. Forth and Joy were pioneers of the latter, but Factor is the state of the art (see factorcode.org).

        His joy0 in joy0 is still my favourite example program of all time.

        And his rewrite stuff is pure inspiration… a guiding light of where computing could yet go to.
