    Hello everyone,

    My name is Justin and I am a freshman at Worcester Polytechnic

    Institute in Massachusetts. I discovered Concatenative languages

    perhaps a year ago and haven't been able to get them out of my head.

    I'm interested in the theory of concatenative languages more than

    their implementation. They seem ideal for constructing a simple core

    language which can easily extend itself. There are natural and

    effecient implementations for variables, lambda expressions,

    recursion, and macros in the language itself, and this fascinates me.

    I am not so sure about types though.

    Everything I write, which isn't much so far, can be found at my

    homepage, members.cox.net/justinpombrio/main.html.

    The writings from the Joy homepage, from this group, and scattered

    about the internet have been a great source of information and ideas.

    Thank you all.

    Justin

     You're in the right place, Justin, I haven't been able to get them out

    of my head since I first read about Forth in the early 1970's ;-)
