Sounds like you're in the process of reinventing Factor.

Which is not a bad thing. Go nuts. Just realize that there may be some degree of prior art for what you're doing.

I'm vaguely familiar with Factor and hopefully not in process of reinventing it.

I was planning to investigate this space just for fun. Most likely nothing will come out if it and that's ok, it's just a learning opportunity.

Nah fam, like I said, go nuts. Even if something exists, reimplementing it is great for the challenge/intellectual curiosity/fun factor. I learned Ada by reimplementing Unix utilities in it.
