@tomberek – I’m not sure that Flom is intended as a demonstration of the Mill’s cleverness. Rather, my idea was to come up with something that

• is easy to implement on the Mill (Forth’s dual stacks seems problematic),
• is comfortable enough for something like real programming,
• and is amenable to optimisation.

The simple, regular, statically checked type system of Flom (it’s a stripped-down ML) isn’t just expressive, it makes code generation much simpler and the generated code can be much more efficient.
