FORTH

FORTH is a very simple computer language, but you can do things with it you would never dream of doing in any other language, e.g. jaunting. Basically is a tool for designing a language in which to so solve your problem. It uses postfix notation. So you would say:

2 2 +

instead of

2+2

It is similar to PostScript in that the stack is explicit.

Abundance
BBL
jaunting
