Om
Om is an experimental, unique take on concatenative languages that attempts to be the simplest language possible (and not simpler).
Defining features of Om include:
- Extremely minimal syntax. Each program consists of only three syntactic elements: operand, operator, and separator.
- Prefix notation rather than postfix. Rather than passing a data stack to each function, the remainder of the program is passed to each function for rewriting.
- A unique "panmorphic" type system in which there is only one data type exposed in the language (a program), even though the implementation can optimize data representations for operations.
- Unicode compliant and implemented using C++, Boost, and ICU.
For discussions, please use the concatenative mailing group.
