five (four? six?) concatenative languages

i've lost all my mail for the month of july, including

the discussion on the project of compiling short papers

on joy's kith and kin.  



what's the status of the project?  who's compiling the

results?  which papers are complete, or nearly so?



we need a book.



we need some compelling applications to illustrate

the power of this type of programming.



factor is just a tremendous achievement.  my impression

is that slava has taken his language to the point where

it should be considered a serious candidate for "real"

applications.  the only component i haven't seen him

address is gui.  how does the factor programmer create

a window-based application?

My paper on Forth is hardly started -- I keep starting, running out of

time, restarting, and trying again. I'm busy.

Thanks for trying. There is no great hurry, really.

All the best, and don't let work get you down.
