I figure I’ll send a pre-release announcement to all the stargazers, when the time is right.&lt;p&gt;One of my new year’s resolutions is to work on Kitten every week this year, and release it before the end of the year. I’m also working on a short ebook (“Programming with Kitten”) to serve as the standard tutorial.&lt;p&gt;I could really use help with all this—building and marketing a language is no small task. If you’re interested in contributing, even if you’re not familiar with Haskell or compilers, I’d be glad to help you get involved. :)&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;evincarofautumn&amp;#x2F;kitten&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;evincarofautumn&amp;#x2F;kitten&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
<story><title>Kitten – A statically typed, stack-based functional programming language</title><url>http://kittenlang.org/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>mr_luc</author><text>Factor was a big name in &amp;#x27;modern stack-based languages,&amp;#x27; but of course it&amp;#x27;s pretty dynamic. I gave Factor a couple of dives a few years ago (after walking through jonesforth prior) and it felt surprisingly complete&amp;#x2F;mature (except for lack of package manager, of course).&lt;p&gt;Given its novelty, I think it&amp;#x27;d be lovely if Kitten took a page from some other languages and had a &amp;quot;QuickStart&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Crash Course&amp;quot; that consisted of side-by-side examples comparing Kitten to Forth or Factor, or even some other more common language like Javascript. (Ie, elixir-lang does this comparison with Erlang on its website, and it can be helpful).</text></comment>
