This is a very important point, and it's the primary reason that I'm  
pursuing a typed concatenative language. I'm doing all of the  
prototyping in Scheme, so it isn't as if I'm insistent that typed  
languages are the old way to go. Even if you prefer untyped languages,  
I think further research in this direction will be helpful to  
concatenative languages as a whole.

Oh I can't write anything that sounds nice in the morning...
