The only data structure based language I am aware of is lisp, although I have a vague memory of a stack language once existing (and I don't mean RPN calculators). Generally I doubt if most data structures are interesting enough or flexible enough to justify a complete linguistic approach. But that's a superficially thought through reaction. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
