The Kitten Programming Language
Kitten is a statically typed, stack-based functional programming language designed to be simple and fast. It is a concatenative language, combining aspects of imperative and pure functional programming. There is an introduction available and a tutorial in progress.
Features
Concatenative Programming
A compositional style of programming to make refactoring easier and improve code reuse.
Static Types
