Linked lists considered harmful

  ↓    A perfect illustration of why single linked lists are simply the wrong data structure in
        99% of cases. Just use arrays and you won't have to choose between tail recursion, and
        front-to-back iteration order.

I don't know who Zed Shaw is, but Factor is as awesomely as >>14 says. It's like Lisp stripped of awkward bullshit like variables and parens. And its concatenative approach means you can factor more finely than you could if you had to type endless parameter and argument lists.
