Infixing Forth - Brad Nelson
"A core value
proposition of Forth is supposed to be its facility with Domain Specific
Languages. But the most commonly used domain specific language, infix algebraic
expressions, are usually avoided in Forth in favor of the stack. I'll explore
several strategies for bringing infix to Forth, explain why this is challenging
and uncommon, and consider to what degree infix can be added to Forth without
damaging its core strength: simplicity and composability."

The Algebra of CoSy, Part 0 - Bob
Armstrong
"CoSy evolves from APL via K's list-of-lists. Thus its
intrinsic algebra is a bit different than standard matrix algebra the
foundation of AI and much applied math. However the notion of atomic
application generalized from APL greatly simplifies expression."
