I have just posted version 0.9.9 of the Cat programming language
interpreter to http://www.cat-language.com/download.html . Cat is a new
public domain functional stack-based language, closely related to the
Joy language.

The user manual at http://www.cat-language.com/manual.html . The
language also has a type-system which resembles ML (superficially at
least), but the current interpreter does not yet enforce it. There is
more on the type-system at http://www.cat-language.com/semantics.html .


I'd welcome any questions, comments, suggestions or criticisms.

Cheers,
Christopher Diggins

I always enjoy new programming languages, and am giving this one a try.

One suggestion I have is to mention the current requirement for explicitly
linking the standard library a bit more prominently than just in the
"Library" page. Possibly note it in the readme.txt, and also mention it in
the "Manual".

It wasn't a major problem - I was following through in the manual, and when
42 7 div didn't work, the error message was clear enough to figure out in a
couple of minutes that I needed to do

"in\std.cat" import

It is a bit of an initial hitch that need not be there.

AHS
