I read that recently, and then found out about "function level" languages, which are sort of the modern extension of stack-based languages.

Function level != functional. Check out Factor, for a prominent example.. the combinator library is beautiful.



I'm really impressed with Factor. This is the first time I've heard about it. Thank you for mentioning it.


I thought function level were limited to backus languages, and that factor was part of stack based, at best concatenative.
