http://llvm.org/releases/1.1/docs/Stacker.html I just found this... As of 1.1, LLVM includes as one of its primary examples a "Forth-like" language that might possibly serve as the foundation for a more complete concatenative language. It's very Forthlike, I'd say. Just in case anyone wants to start a new project :-). Personally, I'm a little busy learning the J language, which isn't concatentive but is from a remarkably different genre of languages than the conventional ones. I'm starting this now because I just found that JSoftware released it completely as free software (licensed under GPL 3), so at last I can learn a complete APL and know that I'll be able to use it effectively in my job if I want. (As a side note, someone also recently released an open source reimplementation of the related "K" language, named "Kona"; I'd start with that, but it's currently much less complete.) -Wm
