It appears that you can automatically identify and rewrite any recursive call in a stack based language like Cat, as a loop using a goto statement.

When two stacks are better than one. Also an introduction to the type annotation syntax which will be introduced in an upcoming version of Cat.

I've just released a new version of Cat, and it is leaner and meaner than ever. There have been syntax changes, and I attempt to provide a brief but useful tutorial.

I'm developing a stack based functional language, inspired by the Joy programming language called Cat. What is particularly interesting about Cat is that it is particularly well-suited to optimization.

Imagine a hypothetical language that compiles to assembly only once all input arrives. It would be ridiculously fast, but somewhat limited since it could only be used as a filter. Is this a worthwhile trade-off?

I still don't quite get it, shouldn't every new language support a primitive Reduce() operation in anticipation of the brave new parallel world?
