Ah, regardless it sounds useful and a good way to get up to speed on array programming concepts.
One of the problems I've always had with niche languages is that they're so alien compared to my background with scripting languages (Ex: Lisp, APL, Prolog, Forth, Smalltalk, Haskell...etc) and thus harder to figure out how to idiomatically do something.
Btw, there is a neat book for Prolog (black cover) on programming text adventures in Prolog. I found it was the only thing that made it start making sense to me as in how I can start to think in Prolog like I do Python. You might enjoy it as well, but you may be past it by now.
I'll have to check out your Klong code at some point. It might be a nice start for me. I think I know how to pass things around, but I'm sure there are pitfalls to get passed.
Forth might be a good subject for you to cover at some point further in the future too.
