Stack-Oriented Languages

Languages in which values are passed between operations on a stack, so that the program reads as a sequence of words acting on whatever is on top. Forth is a stack-oriented language and interactive environment, Factor is a stack-oriented language created by Slava Pestov, and PostScript is a page description language that is also a stack-based programming language. Forth was designed by Charles H. Moore and first used by other programmers in 1970, and PostScript is dynamically typed.
