Cognate – Stack oriented programming in English prose

Hi everyone, I just wanted to show off my WIP programming language Cognate, which I thought you might find interesting. It takes inspiration from Factor and Joy, but uses prefix notation. The compiler ignores words starting with lowercase, allowing comments embedded into statements. It is a dynamic, garbage collected language oriented around higher order functions.
