We have an almost impossibly broad challenge, Chris -- we're taking a
practical language that exists in only a few different instances and
discovering (thanks to Manfred von Thun) that there's some mathematics
that describes it. What follows from that?

I think that's an understandable expectation, although I'm not sure
why you think there aren't any -- it may be that you're placing more
demands on a young field than is really appropriate. We're not
geniuses -- or I'm not -- we're just curious people. What we've built
so far is what there is to show. Thousands of people have worked on
other language types; tens of people have worked on concatenative
languages.

As for your language ideas -- try Microsoft Powershell. It has an
amazingly clever way of integrating pipelining, automatic iteration,
and a number of other things. Wolfram's new language is likely to be
even better, and apparently a version of it ships with the rPi (so you
might be able to try it for free). (Have you watched his video?)

Your ideas aren't about concatenative language, though, and I don't
know why you keep posting the same things here. I'm not dissing them
and I'm glad you posted (they're cool ideas), but it's getting
repetitive now.
