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 ;-)
