I’m implementing a concatenative language (CL) in Julia called jacl. At present jacl is in its infancy with lots of work remaining. I welcome suggestions for improvement and even collaboration. If you’re interested in jacl, email me at [dgrovespdx@gmail.com](mailto:dgrovespdx@gmail.com) and I’ll send you the source code and documentation.

I finally got jacl working correctly with lots of help from this forum, for which I am very grateful.

FYI, jacl is far more than just another Forth. When finished, it will have modern features, such as higher order functions, closures, anonymous functions, generators, if…then…else, for and while loops, recursion, and more.

,Jacl will be similar to, but less complex than, Joy. Details of Joy are found at:
