Bakul may not agree, but that sounds like a novel take on APL. Different underlying syntax, but conceptually quite similar. Forth is one of those things that happened while I wasn't watching, so I'm not at all familiar with it, so it makes sense for me to use the model I know, but this sounds quite intriguing. Do you know APL and/or any of its derivatives? You'd bit a better judge. The idea of the full interpreter at the command line is a powerful one and APL's one liners handle much better the shortcomings of any Unix shell's regarding multi-line constructs. It would interesting to explore your particular take on this and place it in a broader context. Lucio.
