> _A concatenative cyborg chimera._

**sclin** is a programming language that leans heavily into its weirdness. Some

of its features include:

- **Postfix notation** - sclin reads left-to-right with no precedence rules.

  _Concatenation is composition!_

- **The Stack** - sclin's FIFO stack serves as both storage and a "staging

  ground" for function arguments. This - in tandem with stack manipulation

  commands - enables an intuitive point-free style that mirrors those found in

  functional languages.

- **Line-jumping** - sclin treats each line as a separate function, enabling

  "GOTO"-style line execution commands to create recursion and other control flow

  structures.

- **Vectorization** - Most of sclin's built-in commands vectorize, which allow

  those commands to operate on arbitrarily nested data structures.

- **Concise symbols** - sclin's commands follow a pictographic language to

  convey and distinguish properties.

- **Type fluidity** - Most (if not all) sclin commands auto-convert types as

  necessary, eschewing type safety for flexibility and expressiveness.
