My plan was
* basics of stack languages - some simple arithmetic, etc (all demonstrated in the listener)
* dynamic types (illustrated by pushing strings and numbers onto the stack)
* a slightly larger example: fibonacci (which naturally leads into quotations)
* That's a bit messy, so let's refactor it to use dataflow combinators
* 10 [0,b] [ fib ] map, brief mention of the sequence protocol
* [ 40 [0,b] [ fib ] map ] time, hmm that's a bit slow (around 10s on my machine), let's memoize it
* What is MEMO:? Brief discussion of parsing words and the ability to define custom syntax for new types of literals, code for { and H{
* A more impressive example of parsing words: the regex vocabulary.
* If time (yeah, right), a quick discussion of the compiler's architecture and what optimizations it does.
I'd really like to talk about parsing words, because I think they're hella cool, but I suspect my colleagues will be most interested in the compiler stuff.
