I am familiar with k and oK. Is your unreleased language closer to forth or k? Sounds interesting. I checked out Sporth by a fellow named Paul Batchelor. Pretty cool stuff. He's going in different directions nowadays I think, but stil livecoding tools. |

Edit: Live coding really helps though; the whole Bret Victor thing and Light table etc but also many artists and game devs before that, know that you want sculpt your ideas first before you stabilize them. Aka you want spreadsheet programming but when you have more or less what you want, you want to 'upgrade' that code so it's not 'spreadsheet programming' anymore. We have the first (live coding environments, usually for art, Forth etc), we have the middle (REPLs, Lisp) and we have the last part (strongly typed languages and even formal verified programming), but we don't have something that flows from begin to end without having to rewrite everything every stage. I think Lisp / Clojure fans believe they do have this, but I don't find it convincing (although I love coding in Lispy's). I feel Forth has the 'beginning' down much more than Lisp, but moving from a 'working' mess to something stable and then to something rocksolid is not so easy. I keep experimenting.
