Re: [stack] Re: Jon Purdy: Why Concatenative Programming Matters

i still remember the days when basicode programs were broadcasted!
you could actually hear the 0's and 1's.

Seriously, i do want to hear about your zeroone language!
what's morphing?

i'm experimenting with a combination of datalog, the chemical abstract machine and constraint handling rules with postfix syntax.
nothing concrete yet, but i believe that (syntactic) postfix expressions match (reactive) molecules, whatever that means.
 
cheers,
