| Array programming | APL |
In computer science, Array programming languages (also known as vector or multidimensional languages) generalize operations on scalar to apply transparently to vector, matrices, and higher dimensional array.
APL, designed by Ken Iverson, was the...

Forth |
A stack-oriented programming language is one that relies on a stack machine model for passing parameters. Several programming languages fit this description, notably Forth and PostScript, and also many Assembly language (but on a much lower level).
