Re: [stack] Re: Yet another?

Thanks, Christopher and Peter for your kind replies.

I've looked at Cat before, Christopher, and found it very impressive!  
I'll be
most pleased if Catenate ever approaches Cat's level of sophistication.

I just tried to read up on Furphy but the url wasn't found, so Peter  
may be
changing his ISP even sooner that he thought.

Peter mentioned Euphoria which is another impressive language but its
Pascal-like syntax seems overly verbose after becoming used to Joy-type
syntax. However, Euphoria is the fastest (blazing fast!) full-featured
interpreter I've ever seen. I've corresponded with the author and he  
said
the internals are Forth-inspired.

Happy to be aboard,
Don
