Cat is a wolf in sheep's clothing if you will pardon the mixed
metaphors. Some of the type restrictions that it imposes (compared to
the flexibility of Joy) enable a very straightforward mapping to
assembly code. My goal for Cat is to be a safe and efficient
high-level intermediate language, which could also be used for
application development.
