#Forth #Occam #APL #Simula #SNOBOL #Starset #m4 #7in7
@pragprog I couldn’t resist this. The initial chapters (I consumed #Forth and #APL last night) are very readable and I’m looking forward to #SNOBOL.
I see that #PostScript will get an honourable mention in the final chapter as a teaser for a sequel 😀. I have a particular fondness for PostScript as writing an interpreter was my final year project at Poly.
