What is the Forth programming language?

The Forth language's creators and foremost proponents answer, "What is Forth?" The Forth programming language - in use for more than four decades.

stack-based

Stack machines are arguably the simplest kind of computer architecture. Their LIFO structure is quite suitable for block-oriented languages. The code size for a stack machine can be very compact because most instructions have no operand field.

Its Time for a New Programming Language

Today, when compared to any other point in programming history, we find ourselves spoiled for choice when it comes to programming…

The Next 7000 Programming Languages

Landin’s seminal paper “The next 700 programming languages” considered programming languages prior to 1966 and speculated on the next 700. Half-a-century on, we cast programming languages in a Darwinian ‘tree of life’ and explore languages, their features (genes) and language evolution from the viewpoint of ‘survival of the fittest’.

The Return of Language-Oriented Programming | Middle of Nowhere

I’ve been wondering what LLMs mean for language design and implementation. Some believe that, because language models are obviously trained on existing content, they are inherently less capable of assisting users with new programming languages. Intuitively this makes sense. However:
