  • haystack

    Haystack is a compiled, statically typed, stack-based language with opt-in variable assignment. (by rtulip)

  • Feel free to look at the issues page to see what work I've got lined up: https://github.com/rtulip/haystack/issues

  • porth

  • Yes, unless there's another language I'm unfamiliar that shares the name. But the inspiration and some core ideas came from Porth: https://gitlab.com/tsoding/porth

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • kitten

    A statically typed concatenative systems programming language.

  • Since you're making a statically-typed concatenative language, I'll point you to a joy reference, kitten, notes to motivate type checking stack languages, and a paper that formalizes type checking for stack languages. Since this looks like a relatively high-level stack language (given the presence of ADTs), you may find that you want to add quotes to your language, specifically opaque quotes since your language is typed. In that case, you'll realize that you'll need a better way to formulate polymorphism over stacks, and the paper on type checking will provide that to you.
