"My friend Malcolm told me a story about pronghorns recently, the North American creatures sometimes confused with antelopes. They can run at speeds of nearly sixty miles an hour, much, much faster than any of their existing predators. Some biologists think they're still outrunning the dangerous species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, specifically the cheetahs that existed on this continent. And then Malcolm asked what each of us is still outrunning and whether we can tell when our predator has been extinct for ten thousand years."

For a while now I've been wanting a generic notation to explain various things on my wiki(tropical arithmetic, multisets, other programming languages, ternary logic, primes, etc..) and I found a PL design I really enjoy writing.
It lands in a weird place, I feel like it might be the only concatenative language without a stack? As far as I know anyways.
I took a day to implement it, and shoved it into a little interactive playground. I have yet to populate the examples.

“The amount of untaxed wealth hidden offshore by the richest 0.1 percent exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people), according to a new Oxfam analysis published on April 2, 2026, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Panama Papers.
The findings show that, a decade later, the super-rich continue to exploit offshore systems to evade taxes and conceal assets, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated international action to tax extreme wealth and end the use of tax havens.
An amount of $3.55 trillion in untaxed wealth was stashed offshore in tax havens and unreported accounts in 2024, according to Oxfam’s estimates. “This sum exceeds the GDP of France and is more than twice the combined GDP of the world’s 44 least developed countries,” a statement by Oxfam noted.“

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •This may be the first concatenative notation for a counter machine that isn't rule-based. There is at least one deque catlang that has been made.
Also, based on our talks of how rejoice executes, would you have a ton of junk operation in your call queue?

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •I believe before this would have left a bunch of unevaluated
junkitems in the pending queue. The end result would have been[junk^5]but now it's[junk]. Gonna make recursion tricky cause you essentially only have tail recursion. The non-determinism of multiple address compounding that... and and and and ...

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •Subroutines would irocinally be falling back into typical FRACTRAN. But with the power to specify many loops and decode prefix tree*. I have a multistack esolang specdraft called AGAIN built around that idea. Gonna be updating it Eventually (tm) with
HERE/LEAVEoperations.* I can show what I mean in a bit
Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •the idea here was to have exactly that fractran but with GOTOs, to do away with the cost of scanning the entire program everytime, not that I need speed for this, but it comes with more readable programs as well, which I wanted. I tried a lispy UX at first(Bägel), but it was clumsy, it seemed like catlang was, once again, hitting all the marks.
I think the main point I'm going for is to have multisets as datastructure, concatenation flow ended up being what was most natural.
If I don't need subroutines to explain some of the stuff I'll use this for, I think.. I might just not add them X) We'll see, tail recursion might be enough.
... and and and and ...
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •Basically, push a symbol the mark your return point then jump to the subroutine. Once the subroutine ends jump to your return handler. The return handler then finds the "entry" point you program should return to. Surprisingly graceful construct compared to how I thought it'd look.
Devine Lu Linvega reshared this.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •@andnull You made a sort of return lobby where it sends you back wherever you need to go.
This is so cool, I hadn't thought of that AT ALL, you're good..

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •... and and and and ...
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •This kinda of "mapping return locations to symbols" is partially what inspired AGAIN. In this cause, it doesn't have gotos (aside from
AGAINwhich jumps to the top of the program), but you can emulate gotos by pushing a prefix to the code you want to run.In the case of Rejoice, you push a symbol that can be decoded into an address to return back to.

in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •ok I see how AGAIN is similar, you can never jump forward in again right? Other than walking over a bunch of IF..END blocks.
Oh this is so cool, I hadn't caught this the first time I read through your posts about AGAIN.
... and and and and ...
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •1) feel free to lift whatever you want from AGAIN. It's a very conceptual page rn.
2) Not, yet, I need to write an interpreter for AGAIN. It currently exist as a little thought experiment / unimplemented specthing. I could make that my little task for tomorrow.
3) That is correct, AGAIN can only jump backwards via
AGAINor forwards withIF/END. Rejoice is more flexible since there is arbitrary jumps forwards and backwards. However, both are share the limitation that you have no return stack of addresses. Thus you need a mechanism for turning Symbols into Locations. In AGAIN, it's via "walk a prefix". For Rejoice it's "decode a symbol to an address using a LUT".... and and and and ...

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to Ben "ragekit" • • •I often write about logic, fractions or natural numbers, so I might have a bit on prime factor that will use numbers:
18 * 2/3, or 2 * 3^2 * 2/3
In some pages, I'll name primes instead of playing with numbers to make things for explicit.
[red blue^2] red/blue
This is the sort of representation that I have on various pages, but it wasn't really "specified" anywhere, and it wasn't evaluatable. Good examples of pages where I mean to use it are:
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/binary
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/primes
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/tropical_…
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/reversibl…
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/ternary_c…
I can use this little playground to cover all that material, and instead of making up new notations for each page, it'll all come down to that one style:
[bag] [put^2]/take-away
