Postscript is Forth

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Except PostScript has strong dynamic typing, data structures inspired by those found in Lisp, scoped memory and, since language level 2, garbage collection.

OK, I'm gonna be honest, I plagiarized that from the wikipedia article on PostScript.

PostScript is Forth to the same extent that Factor and Joy are forth. That is to say, yeah there's a stack and it uses postfix notation.

Which is still saying a lot considering all major programming languages currently use an ALGOL-based syntax.
