It mentions Limbo as an inspiration The threaded / concatanative langauges such as Forth / Joy / Cat / V don't use a call stack, though they still use a stack for parameter manipulation. Charles Moore said that you get about 40 items on the stack in a big program iirc, though that was a few years ago. Still, not much use to C based environments. I'm hoping to get good enough at Forth to take one of these puppies for a walk one day : http://www.intellasys.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=63
