    I find that S-expressions are the best syntax for programming languages. And in general infix operators are inferior to either prefix or postfix notation.

      In case you haven’t heard, Factor just had a new stable release, and is tons of fun for postfix enthusiasts.

        Thanks, i hadn’t heard oft Factor before, it looks interesting. I’m more of a LISP and FP Person but always wanted to properly learn a stack based language, Factor seems like a nice alternative to Forth for that purpose.

      100%! It was mind-blowing to realize lisps are actually syntactically simpler than all the non-lisps so popular today

      Takes a bit of love from editor standpoint unfortunately, so most devs will just never attempt that hurdle
